# 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. S"A 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 S"A 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>

# This doesn't mean that a talmid chacham should stop this regular learning to learn halacha of the upcoming holiday, but rather it means that a question about hilchot pesach is given precedence to questions not about pesach.<ref>Chazon Ovadyah (Pesach pg 1) explains that the halacha in Gemara Pesachim 6a is relevant in regards to the laws established in Tosefta Sanhedrin 7:5 which state that a person should ask relevant questions and a relevant question has precedence over the irrelevant questions. Bach 429 writes that this obligation applies even to somebody who has learnt it in the past, because he should refresh his memory. </ref>

# Also it is very important for the (local) Rabbi to give shiurim informing people of the halachot of [[Pesach]]. <ref>Mishna Brurah in Shaar HaTzion 429:5 points out that the primary teaching on the holiday itself should be halacha and not just the idea of the day. Chazon Ovadyah (Pesach pg 1) writes that it's important for the (local) Rabbi to give shiurim about hilchot pesach. See Kaf HaChaim 429:3 who speaks about the importance of these drashot of the Rabbi and how they should include halacha.</ref>
