Countdown to Passover Week 4: Chag Sameach Ve-Kasher!

Happy Passover!

Here we are, calmly greeting the day of the first seder and relaxing as we pass the hours till “kick off.”  This year, even the usual last minute details are complete and we’re ready with plenty of time to spare thanks to the wonderful tips from Passover prep expert and Professional Organizer, Rivka Slatkin.  I want to thank Rivka for helping to bring some “seder” (order) to our seders and for taking the anxiety out of our pre-Pesach build-up. On behalf of Rivka and everyone at Kosher.com, I want to wish you all a happy, kosher and sweet Passover!
