Fashioning a tent and planning a Seder - Kashering a Kitchen

Vayakhel-Pekudei - Exodus 35:1 - 40:38

Just a few weeks ago God gave all the instructions for the building of the Tabernacle. Take everything that was "you shall make" and change it to "and they made" and you pretty much have this week's reading. Highlights include the Menorah, the Incense Altar, the Burnt-Offering Altar, the Laver, and the Courtyard Hangings, including an accounting of just how much gold, silver, and bronze Bezalel and Oholiab used to create them.

Shabbat HaChodesh - Exodus 12:1 - 12:20

In this week's special maftir reading, we are reminded of the mitzvah of the original Passover Seder, when the Israelites gathered in their homes over a meal of lamb, matza, and bitter herbs eaten in haste, with their loins girded, staff in hand, and sandals on their feet. Time to start planning out your Seder experience.

Kashering Your Kitchen

In addition to the resources offered by the Rabbinical Assembly for all your Passover preparation needs, there is even a set of how-to videos on kashering your kitchen for Pesah.
