A Message from

Rabbi Judah Kerbel

Dear QJC Family,

One week away! Here are some things to keep in mind as Pesach approaches.

The OU Passover Guide has arrived. Copies will be available at shul. You can also download it. The CRC's resources are available here.
Mechiras Chametz times: TONIGHT, Wednesday, March 29 7:45-9:00 PM; Sunday, April 2 8:30-10:30 AM and 7:45-9:00 PM; and Monday, April 3 7:45-9:00 PM. People are also welcome to arrange the sale at minyanim.
When you arrive, please use the intercom by pressing Contacts --> 2 for Bais Hamedrash. I will be located in the Bais Hamedrash.

To download the paper version, click here. (For Israel, click here.)
To submit electronically, click here.
Please join me this Shabbos afternoon at 6:30 for my Shabbos Hagadol drasha on “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness: Applying the Simcha of Pesach to Our Personal and Social Ideals."
(Mincha is at 6:30; the shiur will probably begin around 6:55.)
I'm very excited to share some very meaningful Torah and insightful psychological research to guide us towards simcha for this Yom Tov and beyond!
I was recently asked about finding Divrei Torah for the Seder. I find that Haggadot are the place to find insights! But there are also some online resources - incluing OUTorah, YUTorah audio shiurim, YU Pesach-to-Go (includes this year's edition and past years), Aish, Beit Midrash Zichron Dov in Toronto seder companion, and there is also this activity from the Rabbi Sacks website.
If you need some music to put you in the mood as you prepare, feel free to use these playlists on Spotify! Pesach; Hallel.
Finally, my shiur last night was devoted to Bedikas, Bitul, and Biur Chametz. It's based on the Tzurba series, but you can listen even without the book. Because the Zoom timed out before we finished the collection of sources, I added a 15 minute piece at the end finishing those sources.

Kol tuv, Chag Kasher v'Sameach,
