Passover Jewish Holiday begins

Passover, also known as Pesach, is a significant Jewish holiday commemorating the exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. This annual festival marks the liberation and survival of the Jewish people from oppression, as recounted in the biblical book of Exodus. During Passover, Jews around the world gather for a special meal called the Seder, where they retell the story of the exodus through the Haggadah, a ritual text. The Seder includes symbolic foods, such as matzah (unleavened bread), bitter herbs, and wine, each representing different aspects of the Passover story. Passover is a time for reflection, gratitude, and celebration of freedom, emphasizing the themes of redemption, faith, and hope for a brighter future.
