Don't forget to sell your chametz!

Get ready for Pesach with Kids in the Kosher Kitchen

At 'Kids in the Kosher Kitchen', children in Kindergarten through Grade 3 are invited to enhance their culinary skills and discover the joy of Kosher cooking.

This Sunday, March 30th, make a Matzah the way that our forefathers did… from scratch!

Re-learn one of the most ancient forms of bread making and gain insight into the crunchy symbol of Passover.

At this exciting, hands on, educational experience, the children will thresh wheat stalks, winnow the chaff, grind the grain in a hand powered stone mill and sift out the bran. They will then use this whole grain flour to make their own replica of traditional hand baked Matzah- the way our forefathers did three thousand three hundred years ago, in Egypt.

Special emphasis is placed … Read More »

Important Calendar Correction

We are changing the clock to Daylight Savings Time this Sunday. Please add one hour to the Shabbos end times starting March 15 and for the next three weeks until the end of the month. The same applies to the Fast of Esther start and end times. The halachic times that appear in the Jewish calendar reflect Standard Time and are incorrect. 

Happy Purim from Chabad-Lubavitch!

How you can fulfill the mitzvah of Matanot LaEvyonim

Matanot LaEvyonim is one of the four mitzvot of Purim, to help at least two poor people. Concern for the needy is a year-round responsibility, but on Purim it is a special mitzvah to remember the poor. This is best done by giving charity in the amount of the cost of a meal so that a less fortunate person can also enjoy their Purim seudah, another one of the Purim mitzvot.

Many of us are not personally acquainted with people in dire need to whom we can give these gifts on Purim day. That is why we are partnering with Od Yosef Chai. Od Yosef Chai supports over 8,000 needy families in Israel, including widows and orphans, newly immigrants, terrorist victims, the sick and elderly, especially before the holidays.

Ukraine Jewish Relief Fund

You Can Help the Jewish Community of Ukraine
Due to the tense and volatile crisis in Ukraine, the Jewish population is living in a state of real fear. The economy has collapsed and business has come to a standstill.

Ukraine is home to 450,000 Jews. Wherever they are, and whatever the needs, Chabad is there for them. Over 170 Chabad couples live in Ukraine, serving 154 communities. This impressive network boasts 49 educational centers, 7 orphanages, and 32 soup kitchens. This is in addition to the regular infrastructure of synagogues, mikvahs, and community centers.

Chabad is at the forefront of caring for the Ukrainian Jewish community in crisis. Despite the real danger there, Rabbis and their families are selflessly leading their commun… Read More »
