A Sweet and Kosher Pesach for 2020 With Rabbi Kalmanofsky
This year will present challenges for observing the holiday according to our customary standards and styles. Will we be able to obtain food in the typical way? How can we kasher and clean, especially if some friends and family are unavailable to help? What are the musts and what are the maybes of Pesach rules? Please join us to ask questions and share ideas on doing the best we can do under sub-optimal conditions. If you'd like, send questions in…

We wish we were hosting our usual public Seder, but that is obviously impossible. Under normal circumstances, we would not choose to have a seder through electronic media, but these are not normal circumstances. Given all the social distancing, we need some communal togetherness.

But if you're planning on joining…
