Mivtza Halacha - Pesach 5781
Halachos of the Seder from the Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Aruch
ובדורות הללו שאין החכם שונה לתלמידיו הלכות (לפי שהכל כתוב בספר) מצוה על כל אחד ואחד שילמוד הלכות הרגל קודם הרגל עד שיהיה בקי בהם וידע המעשה אשר יעשה.
(שו"ע הרב סימן תכ"ט סעיף ג')
In the times of the Beis Hamikdosh, the early sages established that from 30 days before a Yomtov, the Rabbis should lecture about the halachos of that festival. Even after the destruction of the Beis Hamikdosh, this institution remained and each sage in his place would teach the laws of the Yomtov so that the people would know what to do on the Yomtov itself.
In later generations, when printed works of halocha became readily available, it is a mitzvah for each person to learn the laws of the festival before the festival, until he becomes expert in them and knows that which he has to do.

There are many halachos to learn before Pesach, especially the halachos of the Seder night. With our busy lifestyles, it is not always easy to make the time to go through the halachos as Shulchan Oruch requires.
Kollel Menachem will help you learn the halachos of the Seder from the Alter Rebbe’s Shulchan Oruch (simon 472 – 481) in time fore Pesach this year!
We have prepared learning booklets in which the halachos have been divided into daily units which can be studied in under 15 minutes. Booklets are available in both the original Hebrew and also English, with thanks to Sichos in English.
You can download the booklets and learn the halachos on your own. Otherwise you can listen to an online shiur on each daily unit.
