Passover Essentials

Take care of two important Pesach mitzvos — sell your chametz before the holiday and order hand-baked Shmura Matzah for your Seder.

✦ Before Passover

📜

Sell Your Chametz

Jewish law requires that all chametz (leavened products) be sold or disposed of before Passover. Authorize Rabbi Dovber to sell your chametz on your behalf — quick, easy, and halachically valid.

Eruv Tavshilin

This year, the first days of Passover fall on Thursday–Friday, April 2–3. Before cooking on Yom Tov for Shabbos, an Eruv Tavshilin must be made.

⚖️

Make Your Eruv Tavshilin

Must be done before Yom Tov begins — Wednesday, April 1, before nightfall

When Yom Tov falls on Friday (or Shabbos follows Yom Tov with no weekday in between), we may not cook on Yom Tov for Shabbos unless we first set aside food before the holiday as an Eruv Tavshilin. This "merging of cooked foods" halachically extends our Shabbos preparations into Yom Tov. This year, the second day of Pesach is Friday, April 3 — so Eruv Tavshilin is required.

📅

When to make it: Wednesday, April 1, 2026 — before Yom Tov begins at nightfall (candle lighting is at 7:30 PM in Brooklyn). Set aside the food before you light candles.

Take Two Foods

A whole matzah + a cooked food such as a hard-boiled egg, fish, or meat. Give them to a neighbor or friend to hold (see tip below).

Recite the Bracha

Take the foods back from them, hold both, and say the blessing below before Yom Tov begins.

Make the Declaration

Recite the declaration, then set the foods aside to be eaten on Shabbos.

💡

Important tip: It's best to have a neighbor or friend — someone not from your immediate household — briefly hold the matzah and egg before you recite the bracha. They lift it to acquire it on your behalf (kinyan), then hand it back to you.

✦ The Blessing & Declaration

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה׳ אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו, וְצִוָּנוּ עַל מִצְוַת עֵרוּב.

Baruch Atah Ado-nai Elo-heinu Melech haolam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al mitzvas eiruv.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us concerning the mitzvah of eruv.

Declaration: "With this eruv it shall be permitted for us to bake, cook, keep warm, kindle a flame, and prepare all that is necessary during the holiday for the Shabbat — for us and for all Jews who reside in this city."
