Passover Information

Passover is the time of the year when we all do our Spring cleaning. In searching for hametz, we often find we have more than we know what to do with. This is a good time to think of other people and donate the food to our local food pantries.

• Bowie Community Pantry. Open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9:00am - 11:00am for donations. Located nearby at the Community Presbyterian Church on Belair Drive not far from the Library.

For guidance on kashering your home for Passover, check the Passover Preparation Guide from the Rabbinical Assembly.

Chametz Sale Form. Print this form and send it in to the Rabbi to sell your chametz before Passover.
