Rabbanit Leah Sarna'sMinimalist Passover Guidewalks one through everything needed to host a seder. Similarly, for those running a Seder for the first time, feel free to consult Jeff’s Pesach Essentials. .
Consult this guide for advice on how to Kasher your kitchen.
Use the OU Passover Guide for general questions, such as which items require special Passover certification and which do not.
The Shul will be collecting charity for the Mitzvah of Ma’ot Chitim, the Passover commandment to ensure that the poor in one's neighborhood are taken care of before engaging in one's own Seder. Donations can be made to the Shul here. Please select 'Maot Chitim' from the drop-down menu. The money will be dedicated specifically to causes focused on feeding the hungry locally in New York, such as the Bowery Mission and Masbia Soup Kitchen.
Consider buying Pesach wine from fellow congregants Larissa and Ami Nahari's company. The shul gets 5% back from the retailer and the Naharis will match the donation.

ABOUT RABBI LEEAD STALLER
As you are aware, Rabbi Leead Staller previously informed the congregation of his decision to leave the shul at the end of his contract, which was set to expire in June. Last week, Rabbi Staller notified the shul Board that he was resigning his position effective immediately. The Board thanks Rabbi Staller for his dedicated service, tremendous energy, outstanding scholarship, and community outreach during his tenure. The Board is focused on continuation of the activities of the congregation and welcomes the input of all of its members. Update: We are pleased to learn that Rabbi Staller and Shoshana Bachrach will serve as the couple in residence, replacing Rabbi Joe Wolfson and Corinne Shmuel, at the Jewish Learning Initiative on NYU's campus, a program of the Orthodox Union to help students thrive and observe key aspects of Jewish life in secular campus environments. Rabbi Joe and Corinne are moving to Israel with their daughter's Mika and Tal where they will expand the reach of the JLIC in Tel Aviv.
Misheberach:We pray that all who are sick may have a full recovery. To add a name to our communal misheberach prayer list,email us.
