Additional Luach Information

On Sunday night, the eve of 14 Nisan (Apr. 1) is the search for chometz - bedikas chometz, and the chometz is burnt the next morning, Erev Pesach, Monday, 14 Nisan (Apr. 2) until the end of the zman sreifas chometz. On Erev Pesach the firstborn fast—Ta'anis Bechoros.

Yov Tov Pesach falls on Tuesday, 15 Nisan (Apr. 3), in Eretz Yisroel, and on Tuesday and Wednesday (Apr. 3-4) in Chutz Le'aretz. The days until Shevi'i Shel Pesach are Chol HaMo'ed.

From Mussaf of Yom Tov Pesach in Eretz Yisroel we recite morid hatal in Shemoneh Esreih instead of vesen tal u-motor livrocho.

From Tuesday night, Motzei Yom Tov Rishon Shel Pesach, we count sefiras ha'omer until Shavuos.

The seforim hakedoshim write to partake in a meal on the sixteenth of Nisan to remember the se'udas Esther that she made when Homon was hung (Mishnah Berurah, 490:2 from the Mogen Avrohom).

Shevi'i Shel Pesach falls on Monday, 21 Nisan (April 9) and in Chutz Le'aretz on Tuesday, 22 Nisan (April 10) is Yom Tov Sheini Shel Goliyos - Shmini Shel Pesach.

Many are accustomed to read Pirkei Ovos after Minchah of Shabbos from Pesach until Rosh HaShonnoh.

Our minhag is not to pray Yom Kippur Koton and surely not to fast during the month of Nisan.

Rosh Chodesh Iyar falls on Wednesday, Apr. 18 and Thursday, Apr. 19.

On Shabbos parshas Tazriya-Metzora a mi sheberach for those fasting Behab is said.
