SUMMARY:Shaharit with Siyyum for Ta'anit Behorot
DESCRIPTION:Fast of the Firstborn.\nIt is a widespread custom that the firs
 t born fast on the day before Pesah. This commemorates the divine protecti
 on of the Israelite firstborn during the final plague in Egypt. However\, 
 it is also prohibited to fast during the month of Nisan. There is a standa
 rd solution to this paradox: a siyyum\, a public completion of study of a 
 tractate of the Talmud. After this\, first born participants may eat a mea
 l in celebration of the event\, and having eaten\, a first born need not f
 ast the remainder of day. (The Rabbinical Assembly)\n\nPassover schedule a
