Shabbos Davening at Home
- This is a special opportunity to show Hashem how special we can make our Shabbos davening at home!
- פלג המנחה is 613pm. If making early Shabbos then מנחה should be before פלג and מזמור שיר with מעריב after פלג. [I suggest Davening מעריב before eating the סעודה ]

- Do not forget to repeat קריאת שמע after צאת הכוכבים .

Pesach Kashering Guidelines
Cleaning the Car
- It is important to clean the car very well especially if you have children. Halachically a car is considered a Keile (a vessel. Therefore, even though crumbs are usually considered Botul, this refers to the individual crumb. However, an accumulation of crumbs in a vessel, such as a car, may combine to be considered Choshuv and not Botul.
- You should clean and vacuum all the seats, crevices and between and under the seats.
- Even if you have the car professionally cleaned, you still have to check it after it is cleaned.
d) You have to do B’dikas Chometz in the car.Toggle content goes here, click edit button to change this text.
