Passover.
Pesach (Passover) is important to us since in it we relive the Exodus from Egypt and our birth as a nation, both of which were preparations for receiving the Torah from God.
The highlight of Passover is the Seder meal. This meal is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt (see Exodus chapter 12), and is fully detailed in our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, chapter Arvei Pesachim).
The Seder meal is one of those occasions, like Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, that Jews all over the world, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, observe in common. During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.
During the Seder meal, other traditional foods are eaten in addition to the matzah: bitter herbs, parsley, wine and haroset (see below). Salt water, a roasted egg, and a bit of roasted meat are also on the table.
During all the days of Passover, matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten; while leavened foods such as bread, cake, cookies, cereal and pasta are forbidden. This is a command in commemoration of the Exodus, when the Israelites were in a hurry to leave Egypt and did not spend time waiting for their dough to leaven (to rise). Exodus ch.12. Certain prayers are added in the synagogue services, and the Torah is read each day of Passover.
Here is the symbolism of the items on the Seder table:
The Passover or Pesach in Hebrew. As the tenth plague against the 'stiff-necked' Pharoah, HaShem passed over the homes of the Israelites and any others in Egypt who put their faith in the True God, HaShem.
Exodus 12:27 says: "you shall say, It is a Passover sacrifice to the Lord, for He passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, and He saved our houses. And the people kneeled and prostrated themselves.."
Pesach (Passover). It commemorates God passing over the houses of the Israelites when he killed the firstborn of Egypt, in the final plague.

After Passover evening when the Egyptians experienced the death of all firstborn, Moses and the 12 tribes of Israel were set free on Passover Day. In the OT Scripture, a day began at sunset or the night portion and ended the following sunset after the light portion. They travelled during the Days of Unleavened Bread.
Today, many count these two events as one with the Passover being the first day of Unleavened Bread.

Here is the symbolism of the items on the Seder plate:
The bitter herbs (maror) symbolize the harsh slavery which the Israelites suffered in Egypt. Horseradish and/or romaine lettuce are traditionally used for maror.
Charoset - A sweet mixture representing the mortar used by the Jewish slaves to build the storehouses of Egypt. In Ashkenazi Jewish homes, charoset is traditionally made from chopped nuts, grated apples, cinnamon, and sweet red wine.
Karpas - A vegetable other than bitter herbs, traditionally parsley, which is dipped into salt water at the beginning of the Seder. The dipping of a simple herb into salt water (which represents tears) recalls the pain felt by the Israelite slaves in Egypt.
Beitzah - A hard-boiled egg, symbolizing the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night. Although both the Pesach sacrifice and the chagigah were meat-offerings, the chagigah is commemorated by an egg, a symbol of mourning.
Z'roa - A roasted lamb or goat shank-bone, chicken wing, or chicken neck; symbolizing the korban Pesach (Pesach sacrifice), which was a lamb that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.

That depends on ones interpretation of history and religion. The Hebrews invaded the lands of Canaan and eventually created the nation of Israel. This nation was not entirely populated by the decedents of the Hebrews nor were all the Hebrews present in this land. Some time after this many Israelis became slaves to the Egyptians - either because the Israelis invaded Egypt or Egypt invaded Israel (the difference is found between historical text and religious text). A generation after the initial enslavement the Israelis were freed and went back to Israel. At this time an invading army came to Israel and conquered the southern portion creating the land of Judah. Judah is were the term Jew comes from. The modern day religion of Judaism and the ethnic Jews come from this nation. The invading force was either the returning Israelites (following the teachings of Moses) of Egyptian followers of Moses. (again there are differing views as to the history). Either way the commandments of Yahweh that Moses obtained were given to these followers/invaders and they formed the bases of the new Jewish religion. So it is debatable weather Moses gave the law to the Hebrews (or the Israelis or the Egyptians) but the laws were given to those that latter became the Jews.
The passover was a feast of the Jews ,in remembeaence of the time they were freed from slavery in Egypt.
The Torah relates that Moses freed the slaves, with God's help.
