Sale of Chametz
"Chametz" refers to all leavened products including bread, bagels, cookies, pretzels, macaroni, bear, whiskey etc.. For the duration of Passover, Jews are not allowed to ear these foods or even have it in their possession. If you'd like to "sell" your Chametz to a non-Jew before Passover, gather it up and put it away in a drawer or cabinet or box, and fill out the online form at www.capitalchabad.com/chametz

Seders & Passover
UAlbany is giving nearly a week off for Spring Break at Passover time - all of Passover is off aside for the 8th and final day! Nearly all students will be away, Shabbos House is assessing the need for hosting Passover Seders (as we did some years). Please be in touch with us (or call 518-438-4227) if you will be up here for Passover and are interested in a Seder or Passover meals.

Dutch Kosher Dining for Passover
Being that students will be away for most of Passover, Dutch will not be kosherizing the Kitchen for Passover and serving hot meals. Stay tuned for possible boxed meals which will likely need to be ordered ahead of time.

7th & 8th Days of Passover Meals at Shabbos House
Shabbos is back up and running for the final 2 of the 8 days of Passover. Beginning Sunday Night April 4th through Tuesday April 6th, we'll have festive meals and atmosphere for returning students after Passover/Spring Break.

Monday 4/5: Lunch 12-2pm (informal 7th day of Passover holiday prayers 11am)

HOLIDAY DATES:
Passover 2010 begins Monday Night 3/29 and runs through Tuesday evening 4/6.

Holiday Days: Monday evening 3/29 thru Wednesday evening 3/31 are the first holiday days of Passover. Seders are done both nights of Monday and Tuesday etc. The holiday dates resume the following week, Sunday Night 4/4 through Tuesday 4/6.

Weekday Holiday Days: Tuesday Night 4/6 through Sunday evening 4/4 are called the intermediate days: we still eat Matzah and only Kosher for Passover food, but (most) people go to work as usual.
