Celebrate Passover with Beth Yeshurun
Passover begins before sundown on Saturday, April 12, and ends after nightfall on Sunday, April 20.
There are several opportunities to celebrate Passover at Beth Yeshurun, and we look forward to helping you and your family celebrate this year! From programs including Ta'anit Bechorot (Fast of the First Born) sponsored by 100 Jewish Men, MyChag:Pesach for elementary school students, and Passover-To-Go meals. Visit bethyeshurun.org/passover for all of our Passover resources including selling your hametz, the complete service schedule, and the 2025/5785 Passover Guide. Sell Your Hametz No later than 10:00 AM on Friday, April 11 The Torah prohibits the ownership of hametz during Pesach, and there is a three-step process to rid oneself of it. Mechirat Hametz (selling of hametz) can be arranged until 10 A.M. on Friday, April 11, 2025. The Rabbi sells the hametz to a non-Jew and arranges for its return after the holiday. The hametz must be stored out of sight and not used. Bedikat Hametz (searching for hametz) occurs at sunset on Thursday, April 10, where we ensure all hametz is stored properly and prepare the house for Passover, traditionally using a candle, spoon, and feather. Bi'ur Hametz (burning of hametz) happens by 10 A.M. on Friday, April 11, when any remaining hametz is burned. Click here to sell you Hametz!
