Beginning Sunday evening,28th April, the 29th and 30th are Day 7 & 8 of Pesach in the diaspora, the last day being Monday the 29th in Israel.

Whereas, the first days of Pesach, through all the rituals that we practice at the SEDER table, we recall the trials and tribulations of exile, the slavery in Egypt that our forefathers experienced, the last days however, we emphasise expressions of REDEMPTION.

The Matzah that we eat on the first days, again express as we say in the one of the first stanzas of the Haggadah, “this is the bread of affliction which our forefathers ate when they came out of Egypt”. We also drink the FOUR cups of wine.

On the last day of Pesach, a couple of hours before the end of Pesach, we celebrate this FREEDOM. The rituals representing EXILE now behind us, by eating Matzah and drinking 4 cups of wine now on the last day, this time, it is the MATZAH of Freedom, in a special meal called the MOSHIACH SEUDAH (meal).

Eating Matzah on the first days of Pesach the Lubavitcher Rebbie, quotes the Zohar, stating that it represents both the bread of faith and the bread of healing. Now when we eat Matzah at the MOSHIACH SEUDAH, we are tasting FREEDOM, through the DIVINE.

Every Chabad House, will be making a MOSHIACH SEUDAH on TUESDAY 30th. Feel free to join us at Chabad Gants Hill, open to Men and Ladies, SEE THE POSTER ON OUR WEBSITE FOR DETAILS.

WITH OUR CONTINUED PRAYERS FOR OUR HOSTAGES SAFE RETURN AND THE SAFETY OF ALL OF OUR IDF HEROES, WITH STONG AND SAFE BORDERS FOR THE WHOLE OF THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, WE PRAY FOR THEIR WELLBEING.

ENJOY THE TASTE OF FREEDOM OVER THE LAST DAYS OF PESACH.
