​​​​​​​

  1. Bedikat Chametz (The Search For Chametz):

Tuesday, April 7: 8:30pm (As close to nightfall as possible.)

A final search for Chametz is conducted after nightfall. Customarily, 10 pieces of bread or any other type of Chametz are placed in various rooms of the house and the search is conducted by candlelight (feel free to use a flashlight) using a feather and/or wooden spoon to gather the Chametz.

  1. Ta’anit B'chorim - Fast Of The First Born:

Wednesday, April 8: 7:00AM Following Morning Minyan

This commemorates their deliverance from death during the tenth plague in Egypt. It is customary for first-born sons to participate in the meal served in celebration of a mitzvah, such as a Brit Mila (circumcision) or Siyum (the completion of a tractate of the Talmud). Those attending these events on the eve of Passover celebrate with the partaking of refreshments and are then exempt from this fast. (This will likely be done on Zoom)

  1. Last Time For Eating Chametz: Wednesday, April 8: 12:15AM.
  2. Last time for Annulling Chametz (declaring it no longer in your possession): Wednesday, April 8: 1:25PM

This is the time by which you burn your remaining Chametz found the night before during Bedikat Chametz.
