Siyyum Bekhorot
Monday, April 22, 2024 • 14 Nisan 5784
7:15 AM - 9:00 AMOn Monday morning, April 22, all first-borns are urged to join the Siyyum Bekhorot following the 7:15 AM minyan. This observance reminds us that when the first-born of Egypt were slain during the Tenth Plague, the Israelite first-born were saved. In appreciation for this redemption, it is incumbent upon first-born Jewish males to fast on the day before Pesah. This responsibility is nullified when one celebrates the completion of text study.
At the siyyum, Rabbi Jonathan Schnitzer will share reflections on what our tradition teaches us about shalom, peace. This celebration of learning nullifies the obligation for first-borns to fast on the eve of Passover. We will conclude the siyyum with a Seudat Mitzvah, a celebratory meal provided through the generosity of Lisa and Alan Isenberg.
