Passover (Pesach) is a major Jewish holiday commemorating the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It typically lasts for seven to eight days in March or April, beginning on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan. Central to the celebration is the Seder, a ceremonial meal featuring symbolic foods and the retelling of the Exodus story. Observances include the removal of leavened bread (chametz) and eating matzah, unleavened bread, as a reminder of the Israelites’ hurried departure. Passover emphasizes themes of freedom, redemption, and gratitude, serving as a time for reflection and family gatherings.
