Four Questions at Passover for Israel 75
For thousands of years, Jews have used the Passover Seder to remember our history and recount the journey from slavery to freedom.

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 April 4.
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.

Purchase Gift Cards for your Passover shopping and support TBS!
ShopRite has a wonderful selection of everything you’ll need for your Passover shopping. What better way to support TBS than to buy ShopRite scrip (gift cards)! If 100 families purchased $100 of gift cards each week for 50 weeks of the year we would sell $500,000 and make $25,000 for TBS. We earn 5% on the sale of ShopRite scrip. Please contact the TBS Front Office to make a purchase.
