CAS Passover 5785

Pesach marks the birth of the Jewish nation. 

This is our sixteenthyear of spreading the joy of Pesach with a special Passover website.

It's back, better than last year. By clicking the links on the left, you'll find a wealth of Passover information - our synagogue schedule, favorite links, a complete guide to making Passover, favorite videos and podcasts.

Please review the special laws for Pesach by visiting our Passover Guide/Laws page. 

Visit Passover Podcasts for insights to "power" your seder experience. 

Don't miss the blogs, including "Ask the Rabbi Blog" where you can review my answers to questions I have been asked, and new for this year - "Seder Secrets" and "Four Questions." 

You'll also see a link to donate on-line to our CAS Maot Chittim/Passover Fund. All funds collected by CAS will go to help needy families in the Stamford area make Pesach special. These funds will be distributed by Wednesday, April 11th.  We hope you enjoy the site - any questions - email us @ rabbicohen@cas-stamford.org or rabbikurtz@cas-stamford.org 

Please note that since Pesach begins on Motzei Shabbos (Saturday night), there is a unique sequence to how the days leading up to Pesach are observed. E.g. The Fast of the Firstborn is on Thursday, Bedikat Chametz is Thursday night, final Chametz is discarded on Shabbos morning etc. Please see our complete schedule page for precise times and details. And you may also wish to review the Star K summary here.


We wish you and your family a Chag Kasher Vesameach!
