Ta'anit Bekhorim—Fast of the First Born. This fast, observed by the first born and parents of first born children not yet Bar or Bat Mitzvah age, commemorates the miraculous rescue of the Israelite first born from the tenth and most terrible plague: the killing of the Egyptian first born. There is a tradition to release the first born from this fast by conducting a siyyum—a ceremonial conclusion to the study of a specific, sacred text. Rabbi Rank will be conducting a siyyum during services, after which a light breakfast will be served.
