Passover

Passover is arguably the most widely celebrated Jewish holiday of the year. It is a feast for the senses making it the perfect Jewish holiday for family fun!

Passover is celebrated by Jews every year, commemorating the anniversary of our miraculous Exodus from Egyptian slavery.

On the first two nights of Passover we hold a Seder. After candles have been lit, we enjoy a ritual-rich 15-step feast, which centers around telling the story of the Exodus. Some highlights include: Drinking four cups of wine, dipping veggies into saltwater, children kicking off the storytelling by asking the Four Questions (Mah Nishtanah), eating matzah (a cracker-like food, which reminds us that when our ancestors left Egypt they had no time to allow their bread to rise) and bitter herbs, and singing late into the night.
