Happy Passover
The holiday of Passover, celebrated April 22–30 this year, commemorates the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and their transition from slavery to freedom. Many Jewish families get together during the holiday to share evening meals called Seders. The details on how these ritual gatherings should be held are provided in the ancient book The Passover Haggadah. The guidebook contains texts dating back to biblical times, as well as the Talmudic era, which come together to recreate the story of Passover.
