Passover, or Pesach, is a Jewish holiday commemorating the exodus of the Israelites from slavery. Its origins are recounted in the Haggadah during the Passover Seder. Moses was told by God to have the Israelites in Egypt mark lamb’s blood above their doors to be spared by the Angel of Death from the 10th Plague of Egypt: the death of the firstborn sons. When the plague had passed, Pharaoh ordered the Israelites to leave, and they were freed from slavery.
The observance of Passover is marked by symbolism and ritual, including the retelling of the Passover story, discussions of freedom and song. During Passover, Jews avoid chametz (AKA leavened products), and prepare special foods for the Seder that symbolize aspects of the exodus tale.
Passover is a good time to acknowledge the significance of family and friends and to express gratitude for your freedom. Steeped in tradition, the celebration heralds deliverance and blessings. Whether you’re Jewish, or simply want to wish someone who is a happy Passover, having the right words to mark the occasion is important.
