From thirty days before a holiday we are enjoined to begin preparing for it by studying its laws. In addition, the Rebbe has always reminded us, beginning at least thirty days before the holiday of Passover, to make generous donations to Maot Chitim -- money for people toward their Passover holiday needs.

SELL YOUR CHAMETZ ONLINE
Since it is prohibited to possess chametz on Passover, any chametz left undisposed, as well as all chametz utensils that were not thoroughly cleaned, must be sold to a non-Jew. A rabbi acts as our agent both to sell the chametz on the morning before Passover, and to buy it back the evening after Passover ends. The chametz should be stored away for the duration of the holiday.
THE PASSOVER SEDER
The Seder is a feast that includes reading the “Haggadah,” drinking four cups of wine, telling stories, eating matzah and special foods, and other Passover traditions. This year the Passover seders will be held after nightfall on Monday and Tuesday, April 22 and 23. Search the online Chabad directory to find a Seder near you.
ORDER SHMURAH MATZAH
Traditional handmade shmurah matzah is recommended for seder use and is available in many Jewish supermarkets, and at synagogues and Chabad centers around the world. You can order Shmurah Matzah online. Be sure to order with enough time to allow for delivery before Passover.
