פסח (Pesach or Passover in English) is one of the most important Jewish holidays celebrating freedom and family as we remember the Exodus from Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. On the 15th day of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar, Jews gather with family and friends in the evening to read from the  Haggadah, meaning "telling," which contains the order of prayers, rituals, readings, and songs for the Passover seder. The Haggadah helps us retell the events of the Exodus, so that each generation may learn and remember this story that is so central to Jewish life and history.
​
The Passover Seder is a meal full of symbols and rituals that convey that story, from slavery to redemption. The bitter herbs mark the bitterness of slavery, the four cups of wine or juice celebrate freedom, the matzah commemorates the Israelites’ hasty departure from Egypt, which did not allow time for their bread to rise, and the four questions convey the importance of involving ourselves in the story and understanding it in new ways.
