Rabbi Lucas' 5785/2025 Pesah Message
Learn how to clean and prepare for Pesah, as well as special instructions on what to do when the first Seder falls on a Saturday night (as it does this year).
CAI's Tzedek Initiative 5785/2025 Passover Supplement
"At our Sedarim, we retell the story of our bondage. Through the story, we not only share that experience, but the story opens the door to empathy for those suffering injustice in the world. The retelling is intended to spur us towards meaningful action in the world, so that other people do not experience the narrow places, but, rather, can live in the expanse of freedom."
Written by Rabbi Uri Allen
The Rabbinical Assembly Pesah Guide 5785/2025
