Passover

Due to COVID-19, all service information will be posted here. 

Passover is celebrated in the spring during the Hebrew month of Nissan (15th – 22nd) which corresponds this year to sundown on Wednesday, April 8 – sundown on Thursday, April 16th. In Hebrew, the holiday is called Pesach which means “to pass over”. Often referred to as “The Festival of Freedom” Passover remembers and celebrates the Israelites liberation from slavery in ancient Egypt. During the holiday, Jews avoid consuming foods and products that contain leaven. During the Seder meals (which occur on the first two nights of the holiday), the story of the Exodus is retold and a variety of traditions are observed.

In addition to holiday services, Passover is very much a home-based holiday. The Passover Seder is usually a time for family and friends to gather. Time is spent preparing the house, removing chametz (items containing leavening), cleaning and preparing. A real Spring cleaning.

We’ve come up with a variety of ways to help you prepare for the holiday and we’d also love to hear from you. Send us your Passover recipes, tips, etc. But, most importantly, enjoy the holiday!
