Fast of the First Born – Siyyum Bechorim

In recognition of the rescue of the Israeli firstborn from the 10th Plague,
firstborn Jews observe the Fast of the Firstborn on the morning of the First
Seder. However, if the firstborn engages in the completion of learning, s/he
is exempt from the fast because of the obligation to participate in a festive
meal after finishing a major piece of learning.

Come eat with us!

Join us as Rabbi Starr concludes some learning and thereby “obligates” all
firstborns (and all in attendance) to celebrate with food and with drink.

We will start with our traditional minyan service at 7:30 a.m. in the
Bernstein Chapel and on Zoom.

Rabbi Starr will then offer a brief learning session, followed by an extended
breakfast.

Organized by: Congregation Shaarey Zedek
