Please Participate in our Pesach Campaign!

Your support and partnership is vital 

Dear Friends,

In one week we will sit with family and friends at the Seder table to celebrate the holiday of Passover. There is scant a Jew in the world who does not mark the significance of Passover in some way, giving a special meaning to the holiday celebrating our freedom as a nation.

Chabad of Uptown has been on the forefront of promoting Jewish pride, inspiration and education in the Galleria, River Oaks and Memorial areas. Our vibrant, well attended, Young Professional and student groups, holiday programs and classes are testament to the impact Chabad has made.

Yet, as many people as we have touched, there remain many thousands of local Jews for whom Judaism plays a minor part in their life. Until we have reached them and inspired them to explore their precious heritage we are not fulfilling our mission.

Therefore, we turn to you, our dear friends, to help us utilize this most auspicious time of the Jewish calendar year to bring inspiration to the Jewish community for the holiday of Passover. Let us tap in to the Jewish spark that is ignited during the holiday of Passover and turn it in to a roaring passionate flame.

Please support our Passover activities by sending your generous contribution to Chabad of Uptown, 4311 Bettis Drive, Houston, TX 77027 or donate online at www.chabadtexas.org/uptowndonate.

With blessings for a Happy and Kosher Pesach,

Rabbi Chaim & Chanie

P.S. Chabad's mission is to reach the "fifth son" who is not yet at the seder table. Although our first seder is completely full, we still have room at our second seder. If you or someone you know is need of a seder, please let us know! You can volunteer as well to help prepare for the communal seder. Please call Chanie at 713-419-3962 to see how you can get involved!

Dear Friends,

• Pesach is fast approaching  and seder preparations are well underway. The shul is cleaned, the Pesach kitchen is set and Chanie has already begun cooking and freezing! (BTW, Baruch Hashem for peelers... and Neosporin).
  We would love to have you join us for the seder. The first Seder is practically full (of course we are never full - there is always room for a Jew) and we still have a few seats left at our second seder! Just please RSVP! Pesach service schedule is here.
• Did you sell your Chametz yet? What are you waiting for?! www.chabadtexas.org/chametz
• It is customary to seek out Shmurah Matzah for Pesach, especially for the Seder plate. Order yours today at 713-777-2000! A pound of Matzah for $20 has approx. 9 matzahs.
  Still not convinced? RC wants to bring you some! Drop us a line, and he will drop by!
• This Sunday there will be a fantastic PrePassover Live Web Eevent with Natan Sharansky, Chairman of the Jewish Agency. Hon. Sharansky will share his personal story of freedom from Soviet bondage. Sunday March 21 at 2-2:30 pm (3-3:30 pm EST) at www.torahcafe.com.
• Rabbi Chaim will be travelling to NY next week to visit the Rebbe's graveside together with our son, Mendel in honor of the Rebbe's 108th Birthday on 11 Nissan. If you have a prayer you would like him to include, please send your Jewish name and your mother's Jewish name with any request you would like.

This Shabbos is called Parshat Hachodesh:

Hachodesh recounts G-d's historic communication to Moses in Egypt on the 1st of Nissan (2 weeks before the Exodus) regarding the Jewish calendar, the month of Nissan and the Passover offering.
