Happy Passover!

Passover begins at sundown on Monday, April 22 and ends the evening of Tuesday, April 30. The first Passover seder is on the evening of Monday, April 22, and the second Passover seder takes place on the evening of Tuesday, April 23.

Passover commemorates the Israelites’ Exodus from Egypt, and their transition from slavery to freedom. The main ritual of Passover is the seder, which occurs on the first two nights (in Israel just the first night) of the holiday — a festive meal that involves the re-telling of the Exodus through stories and song and the consumption of ritual foods, including matzah and maror (bitter herbs).
