Laws of Erev Pesach

These halachos apply whenever Erev Pesach falls on Shabbos.This occurs on average once every nine years, as frequently as every three years (e.g., 2005 and 2008), and as infrequently as every 20 years. For example, it did not occur between 1954 and 1974.

The next occurrences will take place in 2025 and then not again until 2045. Many of us are quite familiar with the regular Erev Pesach routine: The bechorim go to a siyum, the chometz is burned, and we prepare for the Seder. However, every so often, Erev Pesach occurs on Shabbos and we must modify our routine. Let us review the halachos of Shabbos Erev Pesach.
