Pesach

Hi, Rabbi, Happy Passover! I see on the calendar that there are “Intermediate Days” of Passover. What are they all about? Thanks and happy Passover to you and the entire Gateways staff!

Why do we drink four cups of wine (or grape juice) at the Passover Seder?

Hi Rabbi, what is the significance of the four types of children that we speak about at the Passover Seder? Thank you and happy Passover!

Dear Rabbi, what’s the idea of eating Matzah on Passover? Happy Passover!

Dear Rabbi, what is the way to clean for Passover without going crazy from non-stop washing, scrubbing and cleaning for countless weeks before the holiday? Thanks!

4:18 AM (2 minutes ago) I DO NOT EAT KITNIOS ON PESACH. CAN I USE A PESACH CROCK POT NOW BEFORE PESACH AND COOK BEANS/BARLEY IN IT ,WASH IT BEFORE PESACH AND USE IT ON PESACH?

IN WHICH TORAH PORTION DOES G-D COMMAND US TO EAT UNLEAVENED BREAD FOR A WEEK? LOOKING FOR EXACT LOCATION PLEASE.  

The Torah portion for the weekend of March 27-29 (Passover): Is it the regular reading of Tzav, or is it a special reading - and what is it?

Shalom aleichem Rabbi Lauffer. Thank you for answering my last question. By the Seder, does the amount of wine in the cup have to be at least a revi'is, or does only the actual cup have to be a revi'is-sized cup. In other words, if the cup is able to contain a revi'is of wine if filled to the absolute brim, would he still fulfill the mitzvah if the revi'is-sized cup is filled normally, but not to the actual brim? Thanks a lot.

Subject: BeChatzi HaLailah At the conclusion of the Passover Seder, we usually sing Adir Hu, Ehad Mi Yodea, Had Gadya. My family and my rabbi's family always skipped BeChatzi HaLailah. My rabbi has found a new interest in this song due to the the bible references in this song. Does anyone in the Ask The Rabbi Team know any melodies for BeChatzi HaLailah? My rabbi and I thank you.
