Passover Yizkor Space: Marking Losses Amidst the Joy of Passover
Thursday, April 25th | 5:30PM | Hillel Student Lounge
Passover--the Festival of Freedom--can be an extremely difficult time for those who are recently bereaved - and it can be a ripe time for recalling loved ones lost. We are sending those of you who are holding the pain of a loss (recent or not) strength in navigating this time, whether at home or on campus, and prayers that there will be sweetness (even amidst bitterness) for you during this holiday. Whether or not you’re attending a seder this year, we invite you to join members of our community in drawing support and comfort from one another toward the end of the festival period. Rabbi Michelle Dardashti and Rabbi Alex Weissman will both be present and holding the space.

Four Passover customs that may be of interest to you:
Maot Hittin: There is an ancient custom to give tzedakah (specifically, money) before Pesah (Passover) to enable fellow Jews to eat and celebrate fittingly on this holiday. This money ("Maot Hittin") is ideally given as much in advance of the holiday as possible. If you are interested, please give your donations to Rabbi Dardashti in cash or checks made payable to "CBS Rabbi's Discretionary Fund" by Wednesday, April 17th. The money will be distributed to local community members in need by Rabbi Barry Dollinger.
Selling Your Hametz: Hametz (any food, liquor, etc. -- products containing wheat, barley, spelt, oats, or rye -- which are not kosher for Passover) is traditionally cleaned up and removed before the holiday. Any remaining hametz not cleaned/removed from your premises, which you wish to store away for after the holiday, is legally SOLD, so as not to be legally yours for duration of Passover. If you are interested in having Rabbi Dardashti sell your hametz on your behalf, and please fill out this form by Thursday morning, 4/18!
Bedikat Hametz: The ceremony of checking/searching for any hametz not yet removed (via cleaning or selling) from your possession is performed on Thursday evening, April 18th. (We have some Bedikat Hametz kits over at Hillel as well. Please stop by Rabbi Dardashti's office if you would like one.
Ta'a'nit b'chorot:
There is a custom of the first-born member of a family to fast on the day leading up to the start of Passover (Friday, April 19th). Some people have a celebratory feast marking the end of learning a section Talmud instead. If you are interested in such an event, please contact Rabbi Alex at rabbialex@brown.edu
