Each year, B'nai Shalom of Olney puts out a Passover Guide to help our community prepare for the annual celebration of Pesach.
The guide below is from the lead up to Passover in 5784. It will be updated to the 5785 Passover guide a few months before Passover in 2025.

Celebrating Passover in the Shadow of October 7th
Thursday, April 18 at 11:00 AM
Join Rabbi Nagelberg for a conversation about how we are processing one of our tradition's most joyous holidays while Israel is at war. Together, we will look at ways Jews have celebrated Chag haCherut (the holiday of freedom) during previous wars and explore prayers and writings that have been crafted for this years Seders.

Connect and Prepare
In the Haggadah, we declare, “All who are hungry, come and eat; all who are needy come and celebrate Passover?” Opening our homes to Jews in need includes those who would otherwise be alone.
BSO’s “SederMatch” is the answer. Maybe you are looking for a place to share Seder or maybe you have a little extra room at your Seder table this year. Or maybe you can make some room? Many wonderful friendships have been made at Seder and we will make the right match for you.
Click HERE to fill out the form to share if you would like to be hosted or if you would welcome a guest to your Seder.
Each year, the Rabbinical Assembly, the rabbinic organization of the Conservative Movement, publishes a handbook with the most updated halachic guidance on how to prepare your home for Passover, which foods are acceptable to be eaten during Passover, and other important points of knowledge for this year's observance of Pesach.
