	# Thirty days before [[Pesach]] one should start learning the halachot of [[Pesach]]. <ref>In Gemara Pesachim 6a, Rabbanan hold that one should begin to learn Hilchot [[Pesach]] thirty days in advance of [[Pesach]], whereas Rabban Shimon Ben Gamliel holds only 2 weeks. Rabbanan learn this idea from Moshe who taught the laws of [[Pesach]] Sheni thirty days in advance which was [[Pesach]] in Nissan. Shulchan Aruch 429:1 rules like the opinion of the Rabbanan. Mishna Brurah 429:2 writes that it begins on [[Purim]] and it’s an obligation upon each individual to learn the Halachot of [[Pesach]] in this time. </ref> The 30 days begin from [[Purim]] itself. <ref> Mishna Brurah 429:2. Chazon Ovadyah ([[Pesach]] pg 1) agrees that the thirty days before [[Pesach]] begins on [[Purim]] itself. Nonetheless, he adds that if someone has a question about [[Pesach]] and someone has a question about [[Purim]], the question about [[Purim]] takes precedence.</ref> All the more so, on the holiday itself one should learn the halachot of [[Pesach]]. <ref> Gemara [[Megillah]] 32b states that on [[Pesach]] itself, one should learn the halachot of [[Pesach]] on [[Pesach]]. Mishna Brurah 429:1 and Chazon Ovadyah ([[Pesach]] pg 1) quote this as halacha as opposed to Shulchan Aruch HaRav 429:4 who writes that on the holiday itself the Rabbi should speak about the topic of the day, meaning the miracle that occurred and Aggadah because the halachot are easily found in books.</ref>		# Thirty days before [[Pesach]] one should start learning the halachot of [[Pesach]].<ref>In Gemara Pesachim 6a, Rabbanan hold that one should begin to learn Hilchot [[Pesach]] thirty days in advance of [[Pesach]], whereas Rabban Shimon Ben Gamliel holds only 2 weeks.
