Beth David Sisterhood will hold its annual Community Passover Workshop on Wednesday, March 26, at 7 pm, in the Beth David social hall. The workshop is open to everyone in the Jewish community, men and women, whether or not they are affiliated with Beth David Sisterhood or Beth David Synagogue.
Rabbi Zev Silber, the spiritual leader of Beth David Synagogue, will update attendees on changes to products that were previously acceptable for Passover use, and alert them to new kosher for Passover items available this year. Copies of the OU Passover issue should be available for distribution.
Silber’s primary topic for the evening will be how to deal with the many problems resulting from the fact that the first seder this year occurs Saturday night after Shabbat. He will discuss: When and how do we prepare? How do we make Hamotzi on Shabbat and still stay pesadick? How are the other Passover mitzvot affected?
Silber will also attempt to answer these and other questions anyone may have concerning Passover and Passover preparations this year. It would be appreciated if questions that might require research be submitted to him in advance at rabbisilber@stny.rr.com.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to share favorite Passover recipes, tips, shortcuts and other useful information that may make cleaning or cooking easier this year.
“Remember, we collect food for CHOW at every meeting, so start cleaning out your pantry early and bring your chametzdik donations to our meeting,” said organizers of the workshop.
