PASSOVER INFORMATION
MAOT CHITTIM - Passover is a time of the year when we
remember those who are not as fortunate as others. The
"Shulchan Aruch - Code of the Jewish Law" reminds us of
our obligation to help all Jews celebrate Passover, our festival
of freedom. Please give generously to those in need so that
they too can have Matzos, Wine, Maror and all other basic
Passover needs. The Shul distributes Maot Chittim to people
who need it. Donations may be sent to the office or given to
Rabbis Louis, Ben Zion or Eli, and they will be distributed.

Selected Laws for Passover 5782
Preparing for Passover is always difficult. I will attempt to
briefly cover 13 areas but urge you to either review the laws
from the original source materials, attend any of the many
classes being offered by competent rabbinic authorities,
including at Kesser Maariv, or call me with any questions.
(See laws of Kashering on next page)
1) We Search for Chametz on Thursday night, April 14 after
sundown. We follow all of the procedures and customs
including reciting the blessing and Kol Chamira (renunciation
of ownership) upon conclusion of the search;
2) The Fast of the First Born is on Friday morning April 15.
Fathers fast for their first born son under Bar Mitzvah. A
Siyum can be attended if fasting is difficult. We will hold a
siyum that morning after our 6:00 am minyan;
3) We Burn Chametz on Friday morning April 15. Burning of
the Chametz will be available that day, from 8:00 am until
11:00 am, at Or Torah and Chovevei Tzion. Everyone must
perform Bitul (Nullification of) Chametz and recite the Kol
Chamira at this time;
4) The Prohibition of Eating Chametz begins at 10:13 am on
Friday morning April 15;
5) The Seder - We cannot begin the seder until after nightfall
(8:00 pm). In each and every generation we must feel as if we
are re-experiencing the exodus from Egypt. Accordingly, we
must delve into the Haggadah to remember the suffering of our
ancestors and to learn of the greatness of Hashem. We must
involve our children in this process and realize that each part
of the Passover Seder has great meaning and significance. In
addition to reciting the Hagaddah, special mitzvot of the night
include drinking four cups of wine or grape juice, eating
Matza, Maror and a Yom Tov meal. We must eat the
Afikomen by 12:50 am.
6) First Day - On Shabbat morning April 16 we have a Yom
Tov service in Shul, and Musaf is the special “Prayer for
Dew,” followed by a Yom Tov meal. Note that we may not
eat a meal after 4:45 pm in preparation for the second seder.
Seudat Shlisheet should be eaten before then,.
7) Second Night & Seder - We cannot begin to make
preparations or begin the second seder until after candle
lighting on Saturday evening April 16, which is not before 8:16
pm. Recite the mini-Havdala “Baruch Hamavdil Bein Kodesh
L’chol” at that time then light candles. Remember to transfer
the fire from an existing flame; and let that candle burn out by
itself, as we may not extinguish flames on Yom Tov. We do
recite “Shehechiyanu” at candle lighting; some have the
custom to have a new fruit for the second night. After this, you
may cook/warm up food, set the table and then begin the Seder.
The Seder is very similar to the first night’s Seder. There is a
 special Kiddush that includes Havdala (known by the Talmudic Pesach!!!

Dvar Torah - Shabbat Hagodol & Omer
Shabbat Hagodol - April 9th is Shabbat Hagodol. It always
takes place the Shabbat before Passover. The message of this
Shabbat is the maturity of the Jewish people in their
slaughtering a sheep, the primary Egyptian deity, as the
Korban Pesach, which led to their deliverance.
The Omer, or period of counting 49 days between
Passover and Shavuot, is a solemn period when twenty four
thousand students of Rabbi Akiva, all rabbis and leaders of
Israel, passed away. We begin counting (“Sfira”) the night of
April 16th. One should count after sunset. If one forgot to
count at night, count the next day without reciting the
blessing. If one forgot the entire day, the blessing may not be
recited for the rest of the Omer, even if one counts at night.
During this time we refrain from celebrating weddings,
having haircuts, purchasing new clothing and hearing live
music. On the 33rd day of the counting, known as Lag
B’Omer, this year corresponding to Thursday, May 19th, the
students did not die. As a result, it is a day of joy and
celebration. Marriages, which are ordinarily prohibited
during the sefira period, are permitted on Lag B’Omer, and
field trips and outings take place. In Israel, the day is marked
by the bonfires and pilgrimages are made to the grave of
Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, whose Yahrzeit is on Lag
B’Omer. Shavuot begins on Saturday evening June 4th and
ends on Monday evening June 7th.
Short Excerpt from Rabbi Moshe Soloveichik’s
Hagaddah Shiur - 2015 transcribed by Rabbi Benzie
Shemos 6:6 mentions four terms of redemption:
vehotzeisi (I will take you out), vehitzalti (I will save),
vega’alti (I will redeem) and velakachti (I will take).
Coresponding to these we have four cups of wine. Vilna
Gaon goes on to say that’s why we have four questions and
four sons.
Why the four sons? There is a law “a slave has no
pedigree.” That Halacha is based on the fact that children of
slaves were sold away from them. So at the Seder we focus
on the child-parent bond. That demonstrates Cheirus
(freedom). Regarding the four questions – in a free society
we may ask questions. In slavery we can’t. The
psychological ability to ask questions is demonstrative of
freedom.
What is difficult about these four leshonos is that the
medieval commentator Rashbam (Pesachim 99 s.v. velo)
mentions the four expressions in a different order than in
Torah: Vehotzeisi, second is Vagaalti (in Torah is third),
third is velakachti (fourth in Torah) then vehitzalti (second).
Why did Rashbam change the order? I think he identified
each term with the content of each stage of the Hagaddah. In
Kiddush we say zecher litzias mitzrayim – vehotzeisi.
Second is “asher g’alanu” so he corresponds it with vegaalti.
Third cup, in bentching in Yaaeh veyavo we say “vezichron
amcha kol beis yisrael lifanecha - the memory of all your
nation Yisrael shall be before You,” which corresponds with
velakachti. In Hallel (fourth cup) we say “li yehoshia - a
salvation to me”; also in Nishmas we mention G-d “saved us
from death - mecherev hitzaltanu.”
The four cups are identified with pesukim that
correspond to specific points in the hagaddah That means
part of undergoing cheirus to Rashbam is to drink them in the
proper place in Hagaddah. Why? Simple: We say
“vehigadta levincha - tell your son” about the Exodus.
Malbim points out “haggadah” is distinct from “Amirah.”
(Amirah is mentioned by Pesach – va’amartem evach pesach
hu Lashem) but Amirah means “to say”; haggadah is to
communicate. The Jew who brought bikkurim (first fruits)
to Jerusalem starts off saying higadti hayom. How can he
say “higadti - I said” if that is his first word? Malbim
(Devarim 26:13) says it means “I communicated.” Because
he marched into Jerusalem with his Bikkurim in a parade,
that was communicating a message. Rashbam holds the
cheirus isn’t just saying but demonstrating. Rambam (Laws
of Chametz 7:5) says we fulfill the mitzva of Hagadda not
just by saying the Haggaddah, but by communicating
freedom by drinking the four cups of wine. So each cup
must be associated with the content in the Hagaddah.
More Divrei Torah are available in a separate document
 SELLING THE CHAMETZ - IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!!!
Any "Chametz" which an individual desires to use after Passover must not only be stored in a separate place in the home
where it is not seen during the holiday, but it must also be considered as not belonging to the individual for that period. This
is effected by authorizing the Rabbi to sell the "Chametz" and the place where the “Chametz” is found to a non-Jew. Rabbi
Lazovsky is available to sell the Chametz at his home, at the shul or by special appointment. Please call (847) 676-0556 to
make the necessary arrangements.

While it is preferable to do this in person, in response to those who have requested a written authorization because of their
inability to do this in person, the following form may be used. The form must be received by the Rabbi no later than Sunday,
April 10, 2022.

Fill in the date, your name, home and business addresses, and sign the form.

PASSOVER YIZKOR MEMORIAL SERVICES

Yizkor is always recited on the last day of Passover. This year, Yizkor will be recited on Shabbat April 23. The congregation
will continue to observe Yizkor for all who have a plaque. For those that do not have a plaque who want Yizkor recited,
please make certain that we properly remember the names of our departed loved ones. In order to do this, we request that
you fill in the HEBREW first name of your departed loved one, as well as the HEBREW first name of their father in the
space provided below. You can submit as many names as you need, just make extra copies of the form, or write all of the
names on a separate piece of paper and return them to the rabbi in the enclosed envelope.

Please remember that in the Yizkor prayer we recite that the soul of the departed should rest in eternal paradise on the merit
of charity given in their name.

Please write the Hebrew Name of the Deceased and the Hebrew name of the deceased’s father.
