Post-Purim

The 15th of Adar, "Shushan Purim," is a day of joy and celebration also in those places where it is not observed as the actual Purim.

Preparations for Passover now begin in earnest. On the home front, Operation Chametz-Free House kicks into high gear. On the synagogue front, we supplement the weekly Torah readings with two special Pre-Passover readings.
