ASBI LAWS & CUSTOMS
ASBI's Passover Laws & Customs for 5784
PESACH HOSPITALITY
Pesach is coming and ASBI is excited to help coordinate meals for people who are hosting and those who would like to be hosted.
Our community is stronger when we welcome different people to our tables. New friends, old acquaintances, random strangers, and well known folks! If you are here for any of the holiday, please be involved and share old stories, create new ones, and be part of a growing tradition in our community.
If you have spaces at your table or are looking for a place for Pesach meals, please email Elyce Bader at thebaders@gmail.com, and we will work together to find you a place, or find someone to join your space.
We are working on matching now, so please reach out ASAP!
SELL YOUR HAMETZ
Authorize Rabbi Finkelstein to sell your hametz on your behalf. Log into your account and fill out the form online here or download a paper version here. Just describe the types, values, and locations of your hametz and sign and submit the form.
Submit your form by 4:00 PM on Friday, April 19.
PLEASE NOTE: When Passover has ended, wait one hour before accessing any hametz that you have sold so that it can be repurchased on your behalf.
