Pesach In Wisconsin with Chabad Lubavitch April 21-29, 2027 Order Shmurah Matzah Now Sell Your Chametz The eight-day Jewish holiday of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan, April 12 - 20, 2025. Passover (Pesach) celebrates the deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in ancient Egypt, when we became a nation. Pesach is observed by avoiding leaven (chametz), and highlighted by the "Seders" on the first two nights. They include four cups of wine, eating matzah and bitter herbs, and retelling the story of the Exodus. In Hebrew it is known as Pesach (which means “to pass over”), because G‑d passed over the Jewish homes when punishing the Egyptian's firstborn on the very first Passover eve, forcing them to let the Jewish people go free.

Celebrate Shavuot with Lubavitch of Wisconsin. Discover service times, events, and resources to help you observe Shavuot meaningfully with your community! Shavuot In Wisconsin with Chabad Lubavitch May 21-23, 2026 Preceded by 49 days of counting in eager anticipation, Shavuot is a two-day Jewish holiday that commemorates the date when G‑d gave the Torah to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai over 3,000 years ago. The giving of the Torah was a far-reaching spiritual event—one that touched the essence of the Jewish soul for all times. Our sages have compared it to a wedding between G‑d and the Jewish people. Shavuot also means “oaths,” for on this day G‑d swore eternal devotion to us, and we in turn pledged everlasting loyalty to Him. Every year on the holiday of Shavuot we renew our acceptance of G‑d’s gift, and G‑d “re-gives” the Torah. Shavuot is celebrated through desisting from work, candle-lit dinners, staying up all night to study Torah , listening to the reading of the Ten Commandments in synagogue, enjoying dairy foods and more.

We can generate change in ourselves and in our community with the simple act of consistent giving. ARK charity boxes give every person the opportunity to make the world a better place through Acts of Random Kindness. We believe acts of random kindness can become acts of routine kindness – so we bought a billboard to spread the word. The ARK Giving Project in Wisconsin is inspired by and a result of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's call to inspire humanity to greater moral and ethical heights through positive and consistent action. Request An ARK Get an ARK charity box. Fill it up. Share the contents with a charity or someone in need. Develop a habit of giving. Why it Works People are more influenced by the things they do than by the knowledge they are taught. Compassion and kindness are strengthened by consistency. Giving small amounts of charity every day causes one to become a giver. Childhood is the prime time to cultivate compassion and kindness. Children also influence adults to do the same. This creates a stronger culture of giving in society. ARK charity boxes give every person the opportunity to make the world a better place through Acts of Random Kindness. We can generate change in ourselves and in our community with the simple act of consistent giving. Keep it handy, use it daily, and together we'll achieve Acts of Routine Kindness. Request An ARK

Celebrate Sukkot and Simchat Torah with Lubavitch of Wisconsin. Find events, service times, and resources to experience the joy of the festivals including ordering a lulav and etrog, purchasing or locating a sukkah, and finding a Simchat Torah celebration near you. Sukkot & Simchat Torah In Wisconsin with Chabad Lubavitch October 15-22, 2027 The seven days of Sukkot are celebrated by dwelling in the sukkah, taking the Four Kinds – a palm branch (lulav), two willows (aravot), a minimum of three myrtles (hadassim) and one citron (etrog) – and rejoicing. Sukkot is followed by Shemini Atzeret/Simchat Torah (October 23-25). Sukkot — when we expose ourselves to the elements in greenery-covered huts — commemorates G‑d sheltering our ancestors as they traveled from Egypt to the Promised Land. The Four Kinds express our unity and our belief in G‑d’s omnipresence. Coming after the solemn High Holidays, Sukkot is a time of joy and happiness. The first two days (or one day in Israel) are yom tov, when work is forbidden, candles are lit in the evening, and festive meals are preceded with Kiddush and contain challah dipped in honey. The remainder of the days are quasi holidays, known as chol hamoed. We dwell in the sukkah and take the Four Kinds every day (except for Shabbat, when we do not take the Four Kinds).

Celebrate Lag BaOmer with Lubavitch of Wisconsin's annual picnic and carnival! Kosher food, entertainment, inflatables, and more! Lag BaOmer In Wisconsin with Chabad Lubavitch May 25, 2027 Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, who lived in the second century of the Common Era, was the first to publicly teach the mystical dimension of the Torah known as the Kabbalah, and is the author of the classic text of Kabbalah, the Zohar. On the day of his passing, Rabbi Shimon instructed his disciples to mark the date as “the day of my joy.” The chassidic masters explain that the final day of a righteous person’s earthly life marks the point at which all their deeds, teachings and work achieve their culminating perfection and the zenith of their impact upon our lives. So each Lag BaOmer, we celebrate Rabbi Shimon’s life and the revelation of the esoteric soul of Torah. Lag BaOmer also commemorates another joyous event. The Talmud relates that in the weeks between the Jewish holidays of Passover and Shavuot, a plague raged among the disciples of the great sage Rabbi Akiva (teacher of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai), “because they did not act respectfully towards each other.” These weeks are therefore observed as a period of mourning, with various joyous activities proscribed by law and custom. On Lag BaOmer the deaths ceased. Thus, Lag BaOmer also carries the theme of loving and respecting one’s fellow (ahavat Yisrael). Join Us for a Lag BaOmer Carnival & Picnic FREE entry! Rain or shine!
