Tomorrow, Wednesday April 8, is Passover. Tomorrow (Wednesday) evening, my family and I will be celebrating Passover by conducting a gospel, oriented, Yeshua-centered Passover seder including in our home including the taking of communion and a foot washing service as Yeshua did with his disciples at his last supper.
Some people choose to eat their Passover meal at the earlier time when Yeshua did it (Tuesday evening), while others choose to eat their Passover meal at the end of Passover day when the Torah commands it and when the children of Israel kept the first Passover in Egypt. Our family chooses to eat the Passover meal at this latter time, for this is when Yeshua would have kept Passover with his disciples if he had not been hanging on the cross at the same exact time BEING THE PASSOVER LAMB. Whenever you choose to eat the Passover meal, whether at the beginning of Passover or at the end of Passover and overlapping into the first high holy day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, we encourage you to JUST DO IT as the Bible commands!
Here are some resources to help you to celebrate your own Passover at home with your loved ones.

chat Samech to the Lawrence family. ( is that the appropriate greeting for Pesach. I am still a novice at such things,
We celebrated our Passover meal last night and fortunately had some of our own lamb In the freezer other wise we would have had a hard time locating some here in rural, mid Tennessee!
Yahweh has been busy exposing specific leavening to look for this year in our individual lives. But it is comforting to know what He points out , he is well able to grant us the gift of repentance resulting in forgiveness and cleansing.
Blessings to all in your household, Natan and Sandi.
Chag sameach to you also (you almost got the spelling of sameach right, and spell check turned chag into chat. Otherwise—good jog! [ha! ha! on me]). Our family celebrated Pesach/Passover last evening as well. A wonderful and intimate occasion. We had to buy our lamb—more than $11 a pound for the good organic stuff, but worth every penny of it. We slow cooked it in a crock pot infused with red wine and garlic cloves and marinated with rosemary that I picked from the plant in my yard. Yumm! This is our old family recipe from the time we raised sheep and I shepherded them on the family farm decades ago.
Like you, we rejoice greatly at the being able to rehearse YHVH’s feasts and to memorialize the steps in his glorious plan of salvation. How grateful we should be to be able to do this!!! We need these constant, cyclical reminders so that we don’t get lost spiritually along the way, or grow weary, lukewarm or lax in our faith walk and love of Yeshua our Messiah and his Word.
Love and blessing to both you and Ken, and to all the other saints around the world that love Yeshua by keeping his commandments including celebrating his set-apart times.
