2013 Pesach Prep Guide
By: Rabbi Block
April 08, 2011
The holiday of Pesach is one whose depth and beauty are unparalleled. At the same time, however, as we are charged on Pesach to relive the Exodus and experience it anew, there is also no holiday as demanding.
So that we may best set the stage for reliving the seminal moment in our nation's history, Jewish tradition puts forth a series of laws which require detailed preparation before Pesach and careful adherence during the holiday itself. Rich in meaning and significance, these laws form the basis of the Pesach experience, marking this holiday as unique within our entire calendar year.
Please click HERE to use the attached guide to help with your preparations. While a detailed description of all the laws of Pesach is clearly beyond the scope of this email, please don't hesitate to contact Rabbi Block with any questions you may have.Mechirat Chametz Form 2013

Unmasking Megillat Esther
By: Rabbi Block
March 16, 2011
Megillat Esther is a book of the Bible like no other. Not only is G-d is entirely absent from its story, and the entire narrative at first glance seems to be devoid of any real spiritual message, but its the only Biblical text we're ever commanded to read TWICE. In this discussion, through an analysis of the development of Esther herself, we will discover the importance of the book of Esther and why its message is still exceedingly relevant even today.
