Burn Chometz by: 11:57 am. Click here for more info. We will have a communal Chometz burning at Chabad of Tarzana from 9:00 am - 11:57 am. (Note for t hose who are still not comfortable attending in-person services, if you don't have a safe place to burn the chometz at home such as a fireplace or fire pit, you should instead flush your chometz down the toilet and not burn it.) This year, while burning the chametz, we do not nullify the Chometz but rather we wait till Shabbos morning to do so.
FRIDAY EVENING
Eating Challah on this Unique Shabbos - Friday Night
There is a mitzvah to eat bread at the Friday night and Shabbat morning meals. the dilemma on this unique Shabbos is, on the one hand by this time your house will already be cleaned for Pesach and Chometz-free. However, i t is also forbidden to eat matzah at this time, to ensure that we have a hearty appetite for it on Passover eve.
The solution is, we retain a small quantity of chametz such as challah rolls, to use for the Hamotzi and eat them carefully, in a corner of the room away from the table, food and Pesach dishes. We then safely put away the remaining challah for the Shabbos morning meal.
Candle Lighting: 6:53 pm.
Mincha/Kabolas Shabbos/Maariv: 7:05 pm. We recite the regular Friday night prayers of Kabolas Shabbos and Maariv.
The Friday night meal is a regular Shabbos meal with the regular Shabbos Kiddush. When saying Hamotzie over the Challah be extremely careful to keep the Challah away from the food and utensils, all of which are strictly kosher for Passover by this time. Any left over Challah should be carefully put aside to be gotten rid of on Shabbos morning. Shabbos - March 27th - Shabbos Hagadol
SHABBOS MORNING
Shacharis: 7:30 am. We recite the regular Shabbos prayers. The Haftoro is the Special Haftoro for Shabbos Hagadol. (On Shabbas morning, services are held early so that the two challah loaves (which are chometz), can be eaten before the chometz eating deadline which is 10:54 am.)
Finish Eating Chometz Before: 10:54 am.
Nullify Chometz Before: 11:56 am As chometz cannot burned, on Shabbos, any remaining challah pieces and crumbs should be flushed down the toilet. At this point, we say the second Kol Chamira declaration, disowning any leftover chametz. "All leaven and anything leavened that is in my possession - whether I have seen it or not, whether I have observed it or not, whether I have removed it or not - shall be considered naught and ownerless as the dust of the earth"
