This corresponds to Parashat Tzav. Shabbat HaGadol (“Great Shabbat” שבת הגדול) is the Shabbat immediately before Passover. There is a special Haftarah reading on this Shabbat of the book of Malachi. Traditionally a lengthy and expansive sermon is given to the general community in the afternoon. The Shabbat before Passover is considered a "great" Shabbat because it commemorates the great miracle of the Israelites being able to select a lamb for sacrifice without being molested by their Egyptian masters on a Saturday.  Zoom Religious School: Preempted for Passover Services on April 13 & 20 (Passover 1 & 8): Please attend at least part of those services: Part of religious education!
