Preface
Passover is a holiday established in the Hebrew Bible. It is also
known by a couple of other names, such as “Pesach” and “Feast of
Unleavened Bread.”
The holiday marks the liberation of the Jewish Nation from slavery.
This liberation is twofold.
Firstly, it is physical. The People of Israel were actually slaves in
Egypt for 400 years. Throughout this time, the Egyptians abused
the People of Israel and murdered their children. People of Israel,
lead by Moses were eventually liberated by G-d from the slavery and
were guided to their homeland.
The liberation of Jews from Egypt occurred about 3300 years ago.
The first day of Passover marks the actual day on which the Jews
left Egypt.
Secondly, and equally as important, it is a spiritual liberation. After
they left Egypt, the People of Israel received a Divine Instruction
which, if they obey it, promotes life.
On Passover, Jews recall the story and the lesson of Passover, and
teach them to their children. The lesson itself it called Haggadah -
ה ָד ָּג ַ ה, which means “narration.”
Dates of the Pesach (Passover) Holiday
Pesach is a seven-day holiday.
The first day of Pesach is the fifteenth day of the first month – the
month of Nissan; the last day is the twenty-first day of the first month.
