Passover

Add to:

This year, Passover will begin at sunset on April 22 and end at nightfall on April 30.

Passover is the first of three major festivals in the Jewish faith, which has both historical and agricultural significance. Agriculturally, it represents the beginning of the harvest season in Israel. Historically, the primary observances of Passover are related to the Exodus from Egypt after 400 years of slavery. Passover, is time of reflection and to celebrate the great lessons of the story: the blessing of freedom and the reminder that since we were once slaves and were freed, it is our responsibility to work for freedom of all people, everywhere.
