SHMURA MATZA
When our forefathers left Egypt, they were in such a hurry that there was no time to wait for the dough to rise. They ate matzah, unleavened bread. With only this food our ancestors relied on the Almighty to provide sustenance for the entire Jewish nation. Each year, to remember this, we eat matzah on the first two nights of Pesach, thereby fulfilling the Torah’s commandment, “Matzot shall you eat..”
We would love to bring you Shmura Matzah for your Passover Seder!
Sell your chametz
Since the commandment to rid one's domain of chametz is binding only on a Jew, you can sell your chametz to a non-Jew, and then buy it back from him after Passover. The area where the chametz is held is leased to the non-Jew for the duration of the festival. This sale is not symbolic but a 100% legally binding transaction, and must therefore be conducted by a competent rabbi.
Designate the areas where you'll be placing the chametz you're selling. These can be cupboards, closets, rooms, or an entire house. Remember that you will not be able to use or enter these areas for the duration of the festival. Your local rabbi can transact the sale for you, after obtaining power-of-attorney from you to sell your chametz.

Mitzvah for israel
On Simchat Torah, October 7, 2023, evil invaded our lives: murdering, injuring, and abducting thousands of our brothers and sisters in Israel. Now, millions more stand in harm’s way, endangered by a ruthless rain of rockets or fighting to protect our people on the front lines.
They are not alone.
We are one family. The actions of one impact all. Wherever you are, your positive actions cast spiritual protection over us all. Now, Jews worldwide are uniting to fight the spiritual front of this war against darkness. They’re doing just one more mitzvah. You, too, can do your part.
Stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Israel.
Do a mitzvah for the recovery of the wounded, the safe return of the captives, and the safety of our brothers and sisters in the Holy Land.
