Passover 2020
Passover is here! Our preparation included a great pre-passover webinar last week. Links for resources are posted on this page. Below you will also find the schedule and links CSS's online services for the week of Passover as well as an online copy of the Siddur used in services so you can more easily follow along at home.
Though this year is surely different that many others, as always, we wish everyone a peaceful, healthy, and sweet Passover.
SEDER & OTHER PREPARATION NEEDS
First, you can sell your hametz online via the Rabbinical Assembly here. Next, as you are looking at your pantries, your menus, and your shopping lists, consider this guidance from the Rabbinical Assembly with recommendations specifically offered in light of the COVID-19 virus. Finally, as you think about how your seder will work with remote participation, consider the excellent advice of Ron Wolfson from The American Jewish University (formerly the University of Judaism) and author of The Art of Jewish Living series in his excellent piece, How Different this Night Will Be:10 Tips for a Virtual Seder.
