Fast of the First Born
April 22 @ 7:30 AM – 9:15 AM EDT
In recognition of the rescue of the Israeli firstborn from the 10th Plague,
firstborn Jews observe the Fast of the Firstborn on the eve of Passover.
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
