Happy Passover, Pesach Sameach

Passover is a spring festival commemorating the Israelite’s exodus from Egypt, using many symbols and rituals. This year, Passover begins at sundown on Friday, April 15 and lasts until sundown on Saturday, April 23. The story of Passover is a collective remembrance of the Jewish people, passed down for generations. Here are ways families can celebrate Passover together:
