B"h

Dear friends,
As we face the ever-changing circumstances related to COVID-19 and the state of emergency our province is in, we find ourselves having to make unprecedented decisions. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no “business as usual.."

Amongst this uncertainty, we are focused on staying healthy and ensuring that our community can get through this crisis so that we all emerge fit to face the future together.
We believe it’s our duty as a responsible Jewish organization to do what we can to slow the spread of this virus and minimize its impact.
 
  • CLASSES & PROGRAMS
As such, classes and programs at Chabad of Regina are canceled indefinitely. This includes Shabbat dinners, Classes, Programs and any other in-person event and learning engagement. We plan to add some classes and events virtually and will keep you posted with further details.
 
  • PASSOVER SEDER
The community Pesach seder has been canceled. Everyone is encouraged -- no, urged -- to conduct their own seder at home. To that end, we are offering: 
1. A virtual JLI class on how to conduct a Seder at home, click here for more info.
2. Seder-to-go kits with all you need for a Seder at home, click here for more info.


  • SHMURAH MATZAH
The annual Shmurah Matzah project will continue, and we will be delivering hand-baked Matzah to every home on our list. The Shmurah Matzah has been baked and packaged well before the outbreak. To ensure everyone’s safety we will be leaving it at your door. Please let us know if your address has changed or you want to be added to our list.

  • HELPFUL RESOURCES
CKids International (Chabad’s childrens network) has graciously made a virtual Hebrew School available to you free of charge. It’s a great opportunity for kids to learn about Passover, our history and join tens of thousands of Jewish children worldwide all right from your home. Geared for grades K-7 with different age appropriate lessons. https://www.ckids.net/hslive
Check out Chabad.org's resources and inspiration on Covid-19, plus a full section dedicated to Passover during these trying times: Coronavirus Resources & Inspiration
Look out for more resources to come.

  • YOUR SUPPORT
Due to the added costs of the Passover program as well as the sudden economic downturn, we humbly turn to you for help in funding this important Pesach project. Please consider making a tax-deductible Passover donation (at http://www.jewishregina.org/donate or paypal.com/ca/fundraiser/charity/3418657) and help bring the Festival of Freedom to so many in Southern Saskatchewan.

Thank you and may you and yours be blessed with a happy, healthy and kosher Passover!


Respectfully yours,
Rabbi Avrohom & Shterna Simmonds
