Preparing the Home 

Bedikat Chametz – The Search for Leaven 

Begins after nightfall on Sunday, April 12, 2025. By tradition, bread crumbs are placed conspicuously in rooms where food is ordinarily eaten or brought.  

Using a candle for illumination, a “search” is made to find the remnants of chametz, which are then collected using a feather as a whisk.  

At your Seder – There are 23 hostages believed to be alive in Gaza. It would be very powerful if you printed one or more pictures and put them on your seder table in front of an empty chair. We pray that they return home soon to their families and loved ones, and that this war comes to a peaceful end.
