Passover can help a Jew by reminding them that the Egyptians were slaves for 400 years and they always had to work hard, it also helps Jews remember how lucky they are and not to take things for granted.

It deepens their faith.

It makes a connection between Jews and their ancestors: it has been carried out for thousands of years. Traditions are important.

It makes them closer to God by Torah-studying and prayer.

Passing the faith down since the time of slavery in Egypt.

Remembering that their ancestors were once slaves.

Remembering that there are slaves today too, and people being persecuted today.

God helped them increase their faith.

Remembering the Holocaust. Trusting God even though 6 million were killed.

Strength and hope given by God.

During all the days of Passover, matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten; while leavened foods such as bread, cake, cookies, cereal and pasta are forbidden. Certain prayers are added in the synagogue services, and the Torah is read each day.
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, there are other traditional foods in addition to the matzah: bitter herbs, wine, parsley, and haroset (a mixture of apples, cinnamon, wine and nuts).
