Passport to Israel

Looking for the perfect Passover Afikoman gift for your grandchild or special loved one? Take an imaginary trip to Israel with the TBS “Passport to Israel, B’Yahad, Together” book. Answer questions, draw pictures, explore Israel and special moments with your loved one, “b’yahad,” together! The Passport to Israel, B’Yahad book includes heart “passport” stickers to use as part of the project.

A very limited number of books are available in the Education Center office for $20. Contact Amanda Kaufman at amandak@tbsonline.org

Selling the Hametz

In preparation for Passover each year we spend countless hours cleaning, switching pots and pans and then cooking for meal after meal. Removing hametz, leavened foods from our diets, our homes and our souls in both a physical and spiritual way helps us prepare for the holiday. The rituals of Bedikat (search for) and Biyur (destroying of) Hametz create a very powerful physical and spiritual separation between Passover and the rest of the year. At the end of our search for hametz, we declare that any hametz we may have overlooked is now inedible like the dust of the earth. We recognize that logically, no matter how deeply we clean, there will always be hametz in our lives.

Any hametz that is not destroyed during the week of Passover should be symbolically sold - mekhirat hametz.

Click here to sell your hametz online. Or print a hard copy to return to TBS.
Deadline is Monday, April 22 at 10am.

Congregants attending the Siyum Bekhorim will also have the opportunity to sell their hametz.

It is traditional to perform the mitzvah of ma’ot hitin, giving tzedakah for those in need on Passover, when completing this form. Please join us in supporting Mazon, a Jewish Response to Hunger mazon.org this Passover.
