Passover Preparation Guide

Preparing for Pesah can be daunting! See the document below to access a thorough and helpful guide created by Exploring Judaism on how to prepare your home, kitchen, and family for this important holiday:

Selling Hametz and Ma'ot Hittim

One of the main elements of the holiday is the full removal of all leavened products from your possession. Hametz is defined as any product from wheat, barley, rye, oats, or spelt which was allowed to rise (i.e. bread, crackers, etc.). This is accomplished in two ways: outright disposal of all hametz products or the sale of your hametz to a person who is not Jewish. If you would like Temple Emunah to organize the sale of your hametz, please fill out the form below to appoint Rabbi Lerner as your sale representative.

Additionally, you are invited participate in the mitzvah of donate Ma'ot Hittim (wheat money) to help those in need to buy kosher for Passover foods.

Families with young children are invited to our Passover Simhat Tot focused on water! We will begin with fun Passover crafts and activities and welcome Mike the Bubble Man for an interactive show about bubbles!
