Rabbi Marc Soloway March 25, 2010 Passover Comments Off on Siyum for Fast of First Born and Hametz Burning

Siyum for Fast of First Born

Rabbi Gavriel Goldfeder of Aish Kodesh will have a siyum (finishing a tractate of Talmud) on Monday March 29th, so that all the first-borns may be exempt from this Fast of the First Born.  There will be a minyan at 8:30 am, followed by the siyum (around 9:15 am) at Aish Kodesh, 1805 Balsam Ave.

Burning of Hametz

Bonai Shalom will be burning hametz at Bonai Shalom, 1527 Cherryvale Rd.,  at 10:30 am.

Aish Kodesh will be burning hametz at 11:00 am at Aish Kodesh.

Hoping that everyone’s preparations for Passover are going well and that we will all know the true meaning of freedom this year!

Blessings,
Rabbi Marc
