one week to go chametz < matzah

It has been quite a year of upheaval, yet here we are for another Pesach! Although we had 2020, this year is 2020 won. Next year? Will be 2020 too!

Next week will be a very special and rare 2021 Pesach schedule, as Erev Pesach is Shabbos.... The last time that happened was 2008 and next time this will happen is in 2025, and then not again until 2045(!). Learn more about it here and check out our Pesach megasite for everything Pesach at chabaduptown.org/pesach.

We are publishing next week's Pesach schedule now for the first days of pesach so you can plan accordingly. Notice how next Shabbos will be very early davening.

YJP Houston: this Sunday don’t miss out this wonderful opportunity to volunteer with Moishe House and  YJP Houston to bring the holiday of Passover to seniors and homebound. RSVP here,

Now is the time to sell your chametz! As we do every year, we even got the Israeli Consulate covered. Join the thousands of others who sell their chametz with us at chabadhouston.com/chametz.
