Passover Preparations 2013 at Chabad of Japan

Matzos Shipment from Israel through CA unloading at Chabad Japan

Pesach preparations are in high gear. Handmade Shemura Matzos shipment arrived and was delivered to Chabad Japan. Special thanks to the generous donors of the Matzos. Passover is an expensive holiday world over, especially in Japan, after shipment, custom clearance, tax and duty, they are worth GOLD! Shmura Matza in Zohar is referred to as Matza of Faith and Matza of healing. By eating these Matzot on Passover it brings faith and healing both physically and spiritually to those that eat.

One of the many Megilla Readings at Chabad Tokyo Japan

Purim was non stop activities, with many people participating and joining in the mitzvot of Purim. The reading of  the Megilla was done many times, by Rabbi Edery and Rabbi Meir Mergui who came to Japan for work, and took a big part in the Purim activities at Chabad Tokyo.  Many Jewish people were able to hear the Megillah, even those that live at the far north of Tokyo, in the merit of the ”Megillah Readers” who made a Megillah Reading Route to read to as many people as possible.

Rabbi Meir Mergui and Chabad House staff, Moshiach and Zalman Edery travel all around Tokyo to read the Megillah for people.
