Halachot of Pesach

Rabbi Yaron Reuven gives the basic Halachot of Pesach in about 20 minutes. There is a lot to learn about Pesach, but this will cover the basics. Be sure to take notes and look up the Halachot over the next few days. IMPORTANT: Reminder to make an Eruv Tavshilin before Pesach starts to be able to cook food for Shabbat on the second day of Yom Tov.
