I am (probably) in the process of switching over to observing only one day of yom tov, but I want to make an informed decision, and your blog is the only thorough, well-reasoned account of the teshuvot that I can find on the web.Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12610610.post-45825662804782638462009-04-02T17:04:00.000-04:002009-04-02T17:04:00.000-04:00Here is an article from Mechon Hadar that provides...<A HREF="http://www.halakhah.org/12/StartingtheSederEarly/" REL="nofollow">Here</A> is an article from Mechon Hadar that provides support for a number of possible positions regarding the timing of seder.BZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242965196421853025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12610610.post-236038762979794152009-01-28T19:14:00.000-05:002009-01-28T19:14:00.000-05:00I believe Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh obs...I believe Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh observes only one day of Yom Tov.<BR/><BR/>I think I have a somewhat related subject that I hope you could help me find some information about. Are there any Reform or Conservative teshuvas that allow for Passover sedarim to start earlier in the night then when the stars come out? Here in Pittsburgh I know lots of people who start their sedarim around the usual time they might eat dinner; let's say 5:30 or 6:30. However around here in April the stars come out around 8 or even later. The Mishna in Pesachim is pretty clear that sedarim should start when the stars come out. But again so many people just start the seder hours earlier. The local big Reform shul-Rodef shalom starts there in-house seder also around 6 or so. So I wonder where is the teshuva for non-Ortho movements that allows this? Or is this just a case of people not wanting to face a hardship of going through all the seder rituals and a big dinner so late at night? I hope you can help me out with finding an answer. Thanks.
