Passover @ Adas Israel
Monday, April 22 – Tuesday, April 30, 2024
The eight-day festival of Passover celebrates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is observed by avoiding leaven, and highlighted by the Seder experiences and the retelling of the Exodus. Together, we will march towards hope and freedom, see wonders, and give thanks for the abundant blessings in our lives. Dayenu. Please join us as we celebrate the holiday of freedom, together.

Join Rabbis Alexander, Krinsky and Yolkut for a taste of the Torah of the Haggadah and to ask all your burning Passover Questions.

Mehirat Hametz (Selling of the Hametz)
Please fill out THIS ONLINE FORM by April 19
Please fill out the Mehirat Hametz form to authorize Hazzan Goldsmith to sell your hametz. We are not always able to destroy or remove all of our hametz. So the rabbis ordained that a symbolic sale is made of all the hametz to a non-Jew in the community, who then sells it back to us after Pesach. The hametz is then no longer “in our possession.” This is normally done through the synagogue for the entire congregation. It is only necessary to sell or destroy food items; not dishes or utensils. It is only necessary to sell or destroy food; dishes and utensils are simply locked away in storage for the duration of the festival.

Haggadah Dedicated to the Israeli Hostages
Click Here to Donate & Receive Your Haggadah
As we approach Passover this year, to celebrate our freedom from slavery, we will gather around our table with a special Haggadah dedicated to 133 of our brothers and sisters who are still held captive by Hamas.
The Haggadah features inspiring messages by Israeli spiritual and cultural leaders, such as Rabbi Yisrael Lau, the former Chief Rabbi of Israel and former Chairman of Yad Vashem. It also includes a unique prayer written by Rachel and Jonathan, the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin who is still held captive in Gaza.
This Kosher Haggadah was produced by Kibbutz Be'eri, a community that suffered great loss, and are still waiting for more than 20 of their residents, who were taken hostage.
All proceeds are donations to The Hostages and Missing Families Forum.
