This Month:
Passover - Monday evening, March 29 to Tuesday, April 6th
This eight-day festival, also known as Pesach, takes place during the Hebrew month of Nissan 15th - 22nd to celebrate freedom of Israelites from slavery in Egypt. During the Passover Seder meal and rituals, we relive and experience the freedom that our ancestors gained.
The word "Pesach" means "pass through, to passover, or to spare". It refers to G-d "passed over" the houses of the Jews when he was slaying the firstborn of Egypt.
