Preparing for Pesach




1.    Tell yourself matzah CAN be a versatile meal ingredient and matzah pizza is every bit as good as Domino’s.
2.   Get cleaning – it’s traditional, feels good after winter and who knows what you might find lurking down the sides of the sofa (last year’s matzah crumbs?)
3.    Buy your matzahs early as most supermarkets discount them right now – and buy FEWER than you think you’ll need unless you want to celebrate Passover all year round.
4.   Ring Mandy at the shul office and book your places for our communal seder.  That’s the second night – Saturday April 4th, starting at 7.30 pm.  It’s fully catered, £12 for adults and £10 for children. Non-members £15. Have fun, meet people, learn something new about Pesach.
5.    Hunt around for your Haggadot, and when you’ve found them, if they look something like this ...

you might want to consider buying our new MRJ Haggadah, which looks like this ..


and can be purchased from http://prayer.reformjudaism.org.uk/

6.     And if you open the pages of the Haggadah, and wish your Hebrew was just a little bit better, and that you understood what was written there just a little more, then come along to the Rabbi's Pre-Pesach Haggadah study sessions. The first will take place Thursday 19th March in the boardroom at shul at 12 midday. Just turn up with your Haggadah.  As long as you can sound out Hebrew in a halting fashion, you know enough to join us!
