Pesach In Wisconsin with Chabad Lubavitch April 12-20, 2025 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.

Shluchim (male) and Shluchos (female) are the plural form of Shliach or Shlucha, which means "emissary" or "messenger" in Hebrew. They refer to the men and women who have been appointed as emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Shneerson, of blessed memory. It was the Rebbe who initiated the Chabad-Lubavitch global mission to reach out to every Jew and Jewess to share their rightful heritage with them. It was the Rebbe’s practice to appoint a Shliach to represent the movement and serve as the Rebbe’s representative in a particular region. Perhaps a paradigm would be the establishment of an embassy, with the Shliach serving as the Rebbe’s ambassador to reach every Jew in his region. The regional Shliach in turn, is empowered to appoint other Shluchim to assist in the mission, each with their own areas of responsibility. Shluchim and Shluchos are Chassidim, or students, of the Rebbe, who have dedicated their life’s mission to assisting Jews wherever needed, in their material, physical, and spiritual needs, thereby actualizing the vision and mandate of spreading Yiddishkeit to all. A signature of the Shluchim’s work is the unconditional commitment to every Jew – embodying the Rebbe’s teachings of embracing every individual with kindness, openness and respect. How do Shluchim and/or Shluchos stay motivated? The mission of Lubavitch of Wisconsin is deeply rooted in the teachings and directives of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. This mission—to spread Jewish learning, spirituality, and practice to every corner of the globe—demands dedication, passion, and continuous growth from each Shliach. The nature of this sacred work, while profoundly rewarding, is also inherently challenging, requiring constant spiritual, emotional, and intellectual revitalization. Regular gatherings of the Shluchim serve as a pivotal mechanism for revitalizing commitment to our shared mission. In the presence of peers and mentors, Shluchim can reconnect with the core values and visions that animate their work. These gatherings offer a unique space for reflection on the Rebbe's teachings, allowing each Shaliach to re-energize their spiritual batteries and gain new insights into their work. The communal aspect of these gatherings also cannot be overstated. Shluchim spend much of their time serving others and may feel isolated in their locales. Coming together provides not only a sense of belonging but also a platform for exchanging ideas, strategies, and experiences. Each gathering culminates in a renewed sense of purpose and recommitment to the mission. Through workshops, lectures, and shared prayer and study, Shluchim are reminded of the vast impact of their work and the difference they make in the lives of individuals and communities. FAQ
