Question

The passover lamb is to be selected on the 10th of Nissan. In years where the 10th falls on a Sabbath can the lamb be selected on that day or must it be postponed a day?

Answer

Until the Holy Temple is rebuilt in Jerusalem, we do not select or offer the Passover lamb.

With blessings from Jerusalem,
