8:00 am  Morning Minyan and Fast of the Firstborn Study & Siyyum  (Sanctuary)
Breakfast will immediately follow the study & siyyum.

In gratitude for the first-born Israelites who were spared during the final plague in Egypt, it is a Jewish tradition for first-borns to fast on the day before the first Seder. To mark this observance, many participate in a siyyum—the completion of a Jewish text—allowing them to join in a celebratory meal and be exempt from fasting. While this custom has traditionally applied to first-born males, at Hamakom, we welcome and encourage women to take part as well. The morning will conclude with a communal breakfast.

8:30 am  Sale of Chametz
All money from the Sale of Chametz will be donated to Leket Israel, the leading food rescue organization in Israel. Unique among all other organizations that serve the poor in Israel and food banks worldwide, Leket Israel’s sole focus is rescuing healthy, surplus food and delivering it to those in need through partner nonprofit organizations.

The deadline to sell your chametz is 10:00 am on Friday, April 11.
