Pesach Seder
First Night: Saturday, April 12, 2025
Second Night: Sunday, April 13, 2025
“Seder” means order. The Seder is a service made up of ordered parts. The Seder is structured around the sharing of four cups of wine. Each cup conveys a theme of the Seder: Sanctification, History, Thanksgiving, and Hope. At the center of the Seder service — its very purpose — is the story of the Exodus.

Do you wish to sell your hametz through CBI?
Please complete this form no later than 8am on Friday, April 11, 2025.

If possible, all hametz – food not acceptable during Pesach, or materials containing such unacceptable food – should be destroyed or given away before the holiday begins. Should this be impossible, the hametz may be stored in such a way that we are sure not to use it during the holiday and its actual ownership is transferred to a non-Jew until the holiday ends. The individual participating in the sale appoints his or her Rabbi as an agent to sell the chametz to a non-Jew.
