As we prepare for Pesach, we reflect on its powerful message of freedom—not just from physical slavery, but from anything that holds us back. The story of the Exodus teaches us that true freedom comes with faith, responsibility, and a commitment to our Jewish values.

Each year, we are reminded to leave behind our own personal Egypts – the things that enslave or hold us back—whether inner doubt, fear, or challenges. True freedom includes freedom from within. This Pesach, allow yourself the freedom to embrace Jewish growth, connection, and pride.

Established in 1978 by a joint Congressional resolution, Education Day U.S.A. focuses on the very foundation of meaningful education: instructing America's youth in the ways of morality and ethics, and teaching them an appreciation for divine, inviolable values.

Since 1978, every American President has annually designated Education and Sharing Day U.S.A. on the anniversary of the birth of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, who dedicated his life to the cause of moral education, not just for Jews, but for children of all people.

Swipe right to see Wisconsin’s proclamation from the Office of the Governor and head to the link in our bio to learn more about Education Day U.S.A – including talks from the Rebbe on the importance of education.

If you're all in on the sourdough craze, this is a message for you! On Pesach, matzah is in and chametz (food containing grain that fermented) is out. Not only to eat, but also to own – things like bread, pasta, cereals, and most spirits. But what if you want to keep a freezer full of sourdough for after the holiday?

The solution? The Sale of Chametz! You see, only those redeemed from Egypt must get rid of Chametz. For someone not Jewish, it doesn’t apply (enjoy!). By selling our chametz to a non-Jew before Pesach, we fulfill the mitzvah of not owning chametz while ensuring it can be reclaimed after the holiday.

Don’t wait—Pesach is almost here! Click the link in our bio or head to chabadwi.org/pesachto complete your Sale of Chametz form today!
