History of Passover

Passover is the Jewish holiday commemorating the Jews' escape from their enslavement in Egypt. The holiday is marked by a special diet and ceremonial dinners called seders. In Israel, the holiday lasts 7 days. In the rest of the world, most Jews observe the holiday for 8 days. The key responsibility in Passover is to relate the story of the Exodus from Egypt so that the matter of enslavement and the appreciation of freedom is never forgotten.
