Of all the Jewish holidays, Pesach requires the most preparation. The resources on this page have been put together by Kehilat Hadar to help you prepare for Pesach, including a detailed guide to preparing your home or apartment for Pesach, as well as information on how to dispose of your chametz (leavened products) before the holiday, where to obtain kosher for Pesach food, and various pre-holiday practices. Please note that Kehilat Hadar is not meeting during Pesach this year. Chag kasher v'sameach!
Read on for Pesach resources, selling chametz, ma'ot chittin and more.

Why doesn't the Mishnah explain this? We'll look at a sugya from the Talmud Yerushalmi—the older, more mysterious cousin of the Talmud Bavli—that discusses this question from several angles, each giving us a window into what the Seder might be about.
