PESACH 5784
SPECIAL FUND FOR PESACH
There is a universal Jewish custom to arrange a special fund before Pesach known as Ma’ot Hittim. Ma’ot Hittim (literally, money for wheat) is given to poor people to help them purchase Matzot and wine for Pesach. If you would like to participate in this Mitzvah, please speak to the Rabbi.

CHECKING FOR HAMETZ!
We ask everyone to please check their belongings (Talit & Tefilin bags) to make sure that no food particles (candies, Hametz etc…) remain in the Synagogue before Pesach.
