Yes, this is a metaphor. It compares the beginning of Passover to the rising of a curtain on a stage, suggesting a new beginning or revelation.

A night prayer is a prayer that is said before bedtime, typically asking for protection, guidance, and blessings during the night.

The four cups of wine represent the four expressions of deliverance mentioned in Exodus 6:6-7: "I will take you out, I will deliver you, I will redeem you, and I will take you as my people."

Feliz Pascuas

In Spanish there is no distinction in common parlance between Easter and Passover (both Pascua). Officially, the term for Passover is "Pascua Judía". Therefore, the most respectful way to say "Happy Passover" in Spanish would be "Que tenga una Pascua Judía feliz" as it makes it clear that the speaker is referring to Passover.

If you are asking what the Hebrew word for "Passover" is, it's pesakh (פסח). If you are asking for the meaning of the holiday, it is a celebration of freedom, commemorating the exodus from Egypt.

During passover it really depends how religious the family is. Traditionally, you eat matzoh, a piece of lamb still on the bone, bitter herbs, Charoset (a spread made from apples, cinnamon and nuts), horseradish, and anything that doesn't have yeast or any leavening agents in them. These are only the basics, but a passover seder can have kosher cake, fruits, veggies, soup, meat, anything so long as it follows the rule of no "Chametz" which means nothing that rises. Also no beer is allowed and most carbs are out of the question because of the leavening agents in them.

The bitter herbs on Passover symbolise the bitter taste of slavery and affliction.

The 'crust' can then be topped with tomato sauce, cheese, and all sorts of toppings (mainly vegetables although you can go 'gourmet' with a lox and cream cheese or a balsamic grilled vegetable pizza).

There are also kosher for Passover pizzas available on the market.

was separated and donated in support of the priests of the temple and their families.

Kosher pizza is a pizza that contains only Kosher ingredients and is baked according to Jewish law.
