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

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

OPINION & COMMENT

"As If He Himself Left Egypt"

by Maran HaRav Elozor Menachem Man Shach zt"l

[This shmuess was delivered in 5743.]

Part III

The first part explained how clear it is and how much testimony there was to the truth of the events around yetzias Mitzrayim. The entire generation that went out was, in effect, a witness to what is written in the Torah. This shmuess strongly reflects the elemental emunah that Maran HaRav Shach stressed continually stressed in so many of his talks.

Additional Luach Information

Yom Tov Pesach falls on Motzei Shabbos, 15 Nisan (Apr. 19), in Eretz Yisroel, and on Sunday and Monday (Apr. 19-20) in Chutz La'aretz. The days until Shevi'i Shel Pesach are Chol Hamoed.

From Musaf of Yom Tov Pesach in Eretz Yisroel we recite morid hatal in Shemoneh Esrei instead of vesein tal umottor livrocho.

From Motzei Shabbos, 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 seudas Esther that she made when Homon was hung (Mishnah Berurah, 490:2 from the Mogen Avrohom).

Shevi'i Shel Pesach falls on Shabbos, 21 Nisan (April 26) and in Chutz La'aretz on Sunday, 22 Nisan (April 27) falls Yom Tov Sheini Shel Goluyos - Shemini Shel Pesach.
