The final days are here

APRIL 25: Hey Kids! Win a 7 speed mountain bike at the Jewish Children's Passover Rally at Main Event, Thursday 10:30 am!

APRIL 25-27: Just when you thought you had seen it all! The final days of Passover, emphasizes an even higher Freedom! The final day, this Shabbos, is dedicated to our imminent and final redemption. 

Here are the highlights:

• We make an Eruv Tavshilin so we can cook on Friday for Shabbos
• We stay up all night learning Torah on Thursday night
• We read the celebratory "Song of the Sea" on Friday morning
• We recite yizkor for departed loved ones on Shabbos morning
• We have a "Feast of Moshiach" on Shabbos afternoon

APRIL 27: Hey Community! Following the custom of the Baal Shem Tov, founder of Chassidism, Passover concludes with a "Feast of Moshiach." This festive meal complete with Matzah and, yes, four cups of wine, begins before sunset. It is the perfect way to spiritually take leave of Passover and open our consciousness to the coming redemption.

Oh, and have a laugh watching Sally MacDonald from FOX26 call Rabbi out on his "silver" Seder Plate and learn the reason for the "custom" of a high heel at the seder!
