Shabbat HaChodesh – Parshat Tzav
BIG TIME SHABBAT
Shabbat HaGadol D’rasha
Please join us this Shabbat at 5:45pm for Rabbi Septimus’ Shabbat HaGadol D’rasha, entitled,
Embracing Jihad.
Note to the Department of Homeland Security: The aforementioned shiur will in no way
condone religious violence. The inflammatory title aims to draw maximum attendance for
a sophisticated and moderate Torah treatment of a vexing contemporary challenge.
Selling Your Chametz and Giving Maot Chittin
Rabbi Septimus will be available for sale of chametz following the 7:45am Shacharit minyan
and the weekday Mincha/Ma’ariv minyan, as well as at his home, 718 Sherwood Street, on:
(1) Sunday, March 29th: 8:45am – 10:30am; (2) Sunday, March 29th: 8:45pm – 10:15pm; (3)
Wednesday, April 1st: 8:45pm – 10:15pm. At that time, Maot Chittin, made out to the YINW,
can also be given to Rabbi Septimus. If none of these times work, please contact Rabbi
Septimus directly to set up an appointment. Completed forms can also be emailed to the
rabbi or dropped off in his mailbox; however, you must receive direct confirmation of
receipt from Rabbi Septimus.
Please note that the latest time for eating chametz on Friday, April 3rd is 10:26am; the latest
time for owning chametz is 11:40am. Garbage trucks will be parked, starting at 7:00am in
