Storytelling is fundamental to the Jewish people. Perhaps that is why Passover is such a beloved holiday. To tell the Exodus story, the Haggadah insists that we must first tell the story of the Jewish people from the beginning.
Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is one of the three major pilgrimage festivals of ancient Israel and commemorates the Jews’ Exodus from Egypt. Its name comes from the miracle in which God “passed over” the houses of the Israelites during the tenth plague. Centered on the family or communal celebration of the Seder (ritual meal), Passover is one of the most beloved of all Jewish holidays.
