What is Passover?
You may know Passover only as the time when your neighbor, colleague, or friend eschews bread for matzah and ducks out of work early two days in a row for this thing called a “seder,” but Passover is much, much more than a holiday of symbolic food. “Passover is celebrated in order to recall and appreciate the exodus of the Israelites after 400 years of slavery, as described in the Bible,” says Rabbi Norman R. Patz. The story of Passover is also the dramatic story of Moses, who went head-to-head against the Egyptian Pharaoh, in whose house he was raised. It’s a story that celebrates miracles, love, resilience, and freedom. (Like the word Passover, these are the phrases you never knew came from the Bible.)
