SELLING CHAMETZ
DC Minyan has partnered with Ohev Sholom and Adas Israel to help you prepare for Passover by selling your chametz. Visit the DC Minyan Selling Chametz Guide 5784 for directions.
The deadline to sell chametz is 3:00 pm on Friday, April 19.
When selling one's chametz, it is customary to make a donation for kosher-for-Passover food for Jews in need (ma'ot chittim), as well as a donation to thank whoever is facilitating the sale. Directions for how to make both donations can be found in the above guide. We encourage you to do so as a way of showing appreciation for their work in facilitating this important process and to strengthen our positive relations with the larger Jewish community.
PESACH 7th DAY LUNCH - 4/29
Join us on Monday, April 29 for lunch following our 7th day Pesach services! Cost of attendance is $18 for members over 12, $22 for non-member adults and guests, and $5 for all children ages 3–12. Lunch will be held indoors.
Please register here by Wednesday, April 24 by 11:59 pm. If you have any questions, please email specialevents@dcminyan.org.
