Click here for info on Pesach Seders for April 2009

You are invited to join other fellow Jews and their families celebrate the last days of Passover.

• Night of Learning  Sunday April 8th  11:30PM-1:30AM Sharp @ Chabad House - 717 High St.

It is customary to remain awake on the eve of the Seventh of Passover and spend the entire night in Torah study and joyous celebration of the great miracle of the splitting of the sea.

"Like a 3rd Seder without all the reading"

The last day of Passover ("Acharon Shel Pesach") is particularly associated with Moshiach and the future redemption. The Haftarah (reading from the Prophets) for this day is from Isaiah 11, which describes the promised future era of universal peace and divine perfection. Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov instituted the custom of partaking of a "Moshiach's meal" on the afternoon of the last day of Passover; in addition to the matzoh eaten at "Moshiach's meal", the Rebbes of Chabad added the custom of drinking four cups of wine, as in the Seder held on Passover's first days.
