Passover (or Pesach) is a major Jewish holiday that commemorates the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. Celebrated for eight days (seven in Israel), Passover usually falls in March or April.

The holiday begins with the Seder meal, a ritual dinner where families read the Haggadah, a book that tells the story of the Exodus, and partake in symbolic foods such as matzah (unleavened bread), maror (bitter herbs), and charoset (a sweet mixture).

Passover is a time for reflection, remembrance, and family gatherings, focusing on themes of freedom, redemption, and faith.
