Sell Chametz, Attend a Seder

By admin at 12:46 pm on Monday, March 26, 2007

With the holiday of Passover fast approaching, it’s time to check out our Pesach section! We’ve got information on the Haggadah, Torah thoughts, even e-greetings and recipes for your enjoyment.

We also provide two important services you might want to know about:

Sell Chometz(1) Selling your chometz (leavened products) — During the holiday, it’s prohibited to eat or even own leavened breads, cookies, cereals, etc. There’s a tradition of setting aside anything that might have any chometz content, selling it before the holiday, and buying it back afterwards. Now, you can sell your chometz on-line!

(2) Finding a Pesach Seder — An offer especially relevant to Jewish singles: Are you away from home this year? Have you ever wanted to attend a traditional Seder, but didn’t know who to ask? Just write to us at genesis at torah.org. We’ll make every effort to connect you with a family near you.

May we all enjoy a Happy and Kosher Passover!

Good Shabbos!
Rabbi Yaakov Menken
Director, Project Genesis / Torah.org

Rabbi Dr. BeckerThis past Sunday, those who attending the Ki Metzion Video Conference enjoyed a special treat of having the speaker live and in person! While many of the attendees have appreciated the novelty of having a speaker from Israel talk interactively with the Baltimore audience, there’s still much to be said for a live appearance. Unforeseen circumstances placed Rabbi Dr. Ephraim Becker in NY at the time of his scheduled talk, and we’re very grateful to him for making the trip down to Baltimore early Daylight Savings morning to address our crowd.

If you missed the talk from this past Sunday, or would just like to have a copy of the talk, an mp3 version of the it can be found on our audio site, TorahMedia.com, by going here. The recording is offered for just $2, and can be “borrowed” with a TorahMedia monthly membership.

You’re also encouraged to check out Rabbi Dr. Becker’s other lectures on TorahMedia here, including two FREE recordings, and to visit his blog/website here.

We’ve also put Rabbi Jonathan Rosenblum’s talk about the Mideast Conflict from January 21st on TorahMedia, and it too can be purchased for just $2. You can find that here. We will be adding more of the Ki Metzion recordings, G-d willing, as they become available. You will find all of the available Ki Metzion recordings here.
