Erev Pesach | Evening Before Passover | ערב פסח
31st of March 2026, Tuesday, Eve of Nissan 14, Eve of Passover or Erev Pesach, also called the “the night He was betrayed” (1Cor 11:23; John 13:1-18:27). This is a solemn night to remember the last words of Yeshua to His disciples before he terribly suffered and died. We traditionally wash each others feet on this night, as Yeshua washed his disciples feet. It is also a time to examine oneself and partake of bread and wine, with children supervised by parents. “Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.” (1 Cor. 11:28–30 ESV)
We will not have a meeting on March 31st this year as we were not able to procure a room. We will include foot-washing in our celebration on April 1st, below.
Passover Seder | Pesach Seder | פסח סדר
1st of April 2026, Wednesday, 6:00 pm: Nissan 14, Eve of Nisan 15, the Passover Dinner or Pesach going into the Eve of Unleavened Bread or Erev Matzot. “It is a night to be observed for the Lord” (Ex 12:42 NASB). This joyful celebration commemorates Israelites deliverance from Egypt by the blood of their Passover lambs and our deliverance from our spiritual Egypt. “Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed (1 Cor. 5:7 ESV). Leaven (yeast, baking powder and baking soda) and products made from it should be removed from your home before this night. Please don’t bring any to the meal! “For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land” (Ex. 12:19 ESV). Please join us in our Upper Room! Brother Xan has arranged for a naturally raised lamb to be slaughtered for us and he will cook it whole (without the entrails). We will also provide bitter herbs: horse radish and parsley. Please bring tasty side dishes! Home-made unleavened bread is always appreciated. Bring your own grape juice or wine for the evening.
