Calendar for Passover 5770/2010
Saturday, March 27
Shabbat HaGadol: The Great Sabbath named so because it was on this Shabbat that the Jews expressed their defiance and declared their independence from Egypt.
Sunday, March 28
Immediately after nightfall the head of the household is obligated to search for the chometz by the light of a single-wick candle and/or flashlight. Before the search, the blessing Al Biur Chometz (as found in the Haggadah or Siddur) is made.
Monday, March 29 / Erev Yom Tov
The day before Passover is a fast day for Jewish firstborn males, in commemoration of the tenth plague, the slaying of the firstborn male Egyptians.
A special celebration Siyum is conducted for the First Born at 7 am, following which participating firstborn males are permitted to break their fast.
Chometz should not be eaten after 9:30 am and all chometz should be burned by 10:30 am.
Biur Chometz: Burning of the leavened bread products, including the findings of Sunday’s search for Chometz. Regular matzah is not to be eaten until the Seder.
As the holiday of Pesach does not commence before nightfall, proper care should be taken not to start early as a matter of convenience. It is recommended to begin the seder after 8:30 pm. If possible, children (and tired adults) should nap earlier in the day.
