Pesach

This Rabbinical Assembly Pesach guide is a brief outline of the policies and procedures relevant
to the preparation of a kosher for Pesach home.

This guide is intended to help families maintain a kosher for Pesach home in accordance with the principles of
Conservative Judaism and its understanding of Jewish Law.

Chametz sale form MUST be submitted by 6PM on Sunday, April 21.

Pesach is almost upon us which means… it’s time to prepare to count the Omer! 

Participate in this year’s Pets of the Omer!
