As always, in the lead-up to Pesach, it is inspiring and uplifting to witness the individual and collective Jewish spirit coming alive, as so many fellow Jews are looking to connect to their Jewish soul, searching for Pesach products and a place to join a seder. If you or anyone you know are looking for information in this regard. Please see information below regarding Pesach products and the communal seder.
This Shabbat is known as Shabbat Hagadol – ‘the Great Shabbat’, among the reasons for this title is to remind us of the great miracle which took place before the Exodus from Egypt, whereby a civil war broke out among the Egyptians, between their firstborns, who were fighting for the freedom of the Jews, in order to protect themselves from the impending plague which threatened to annihilate them.
On the eve of Shabbat Hagadol and the lead-up the Pesach, the Festival of our Liberation, let us hope and pray that all evil and hatred be eradicated from the earth, with the ultimate Miracle of enduring universal peace.
We welcome the Bachurim – Yeshivah boys, who have come from Melbourne, Eliezer Selek, Daniel Namdar, Mendy Tilson, and Benny Bluming, who will be assisting in leading services and the communal Sedarim – Seders over Pesach.
Please make a special effort to attend services over Pesach, as several regulars will be away and we will be struggling to make Minyanim, particularly for the daytime services.
We avail ourselves of this opportunity to extend our best wishes to you and your family for a Happy and Kosher Pesach, filled with much love, tranquility, and true freedom.
