Charlotte Jewish News - April 2016 - Page 25 Passover Enthusiasm at Ohr HaTorah Passover is undoubtedly one of the most important holidays on the Jewish ealendar. Judaism eon- siders Passover to be the birthday of the Jewish people and it repre sents one of the most momentous events in Jewish history. Passover is rieh in family tradi tions and many interesting rituals. The foeus of the Passover Seder is transmission to the next genera tion whieh is seen by the involve ment of ehildren in every detail of the Seder. The Seder reaffirms our trust in God that He will onee again deliver us from the evil op pressors. Young Professionals Seder at Chabad of Uptown Chabad will onee again be hosting a Young Adult Seder this eoming Passover on both nights of Passover, Friday, April 22 at 7:30 PM and Saturday night April 23, 8 PM. The young adult Seder was a hit with young people over the past few years. The Seder will be led by Rabbi Motti and Chaya Groner and promises to be an interaetive, in spiring, and fun experienee and appealing to Jewish young adults in our eommunity.

A Praetieal Guide to Cel ebrating Passover will be held on Tuesday April 12, 7:30-9 PM. The elass will eover praetieal laws of Passover, and give tips on how to eonduet a Seder. This exeiting elass is also a benefit for those who are not eondueting the Seder but would like to learn what the dynamies of the Seder and would also benefit from understanding the whys of many of the rituals and eustoms that make the Seder speeial. It’s important to note that one of the traditions in today’s times is to sell one’s ehametz through the Rabbi before Passover. This ensures that there is no ehametz in our possession from the eve of Passover through the entire holi day. Sale of ehametz forms through Ohr HaTorah will be available on our website www.ehabadne.org. The forms will need to be eompleted by Thursday April 14. On Friday, April 22, a Siyum (eonelusion of a traetate of Tal mud) will be eondueted by Rabbi Yossi Groner at 7:20 AM at Ohr HaTorah (at the eonelusion of the morning serviee whieh begins at 6:30). The purpose of the Siyum is to help the first bom avoid the fasting on this day. The logie be hind this is that only a feast of mitzvah ean override the fast. When a Talmudie traetate is eon- eluded it triggers the need for a feast of Mitzvah. On Friday, April 22, we may eat ehametz until 11:08 AM. We bum the ehametz on Friday by 12:14 PM. ^ Shmurah Matzo Available at Ohr HaTorah dongregation Ma*l~oraK a project o) Luba\itch of North Carolina A rieh Passover tradition in many Jewish eommunities is the use of round Shmurah matzo for the Passover Seder. One of the reasons for this eustom is that the Shmurah Matzo is the elosest repliea of the original Matzo the Israelites ate when they left Egypt in haste. This is espeeially tme of the hand-baked Shmurah Matzo where the matzo is prepared and baked by hand in the old fash ioned way. In addition the Shmurah Matzo is baked with extra eare whieh be gins from the time of seleeting and milling the grains for wheat. Thus the name Shmurah whieh means guarded. The matzo is made of only two ingredients, nat ural unbleaehed wheat and pure well water. The entire proeess of baking the matzo ineluding the mixing and kneading needs to be eompleted in less than 18 minutes. The matzo is baked in an old style briek oven fired by wood logs whieh reaeh very high tem perature. The average time it takes to bake the matzo is less than three minutes. The matzo bakery shuts down produetion every 18 minutes and goes in to a total serub down. After a eareful in- speetion of all the hand equipment the bakery starts up again. The oven remains fired up all day as the intense heat helps sanitize the oven interior. A limited amount of Shmurah Matzo will be available for sale at eongregation Ohr HaTorah by speeial order at $20.50 per pound.
