You've probably noticed that the supermarket shelves are suddenly stocked with matzah, gefilte fish, and those special Passover jellied-sugar fruit candies. With less than a month till Passover, the Jewish community is in a flurry of activity. The seven day (8 days outside of Israel) holiday of Passover commemorates the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt which led to the birth of the Jewish nation at Sinai. The Passover Seder, which is held on the first (and second night outside of Israel) of Passover, is perhaps the most widely observed Jewish practice.
Jewish Treats Holidays hopes to give you a comprehensive overview of the holiday to help add a whole new dimension to your holiday.
