One of the three biggest Hebrew holidays, Pesach (Passover) starts at sundown (5 PM) on 22 April and ends on 30 April. It is a movable feast, falling after the 14th day of the spring month of Nisan which starts after the spring equinox with the appearance of the first new moon.
Pesach means exodus, liberation, and every year it is a reminder of the Jews’ Exodus from Egypt, led by Moses, and their 40 years of wandering in the desert until they found the promised land and were free, as described in the Torah and the biblical Exodus. The first night is called Pesach Seder, when, after the church service in the synagogue, the families go home and eat a meal together. One thing they must put on the table is a glass of water and salt – a symbol of the tears Shed by the Jews during the time of slavery.
