About Passover 2026
Passover (Pesach in Hebrew) is a major Jewish holiday celebrating the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. The holiday lasts eight days and commemorates the Exodus story from the Book of Exodus.
Central to Passover is the Seder meal, where families retell the Exodus story, eat symbolic foods, and follow traditions that have been passed down for generations. Matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten throughout the holiday.
Passover is one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays, bringing families together to celebrate freedom and remember their ancestors' journey.
