Passover. It's one of the major Jewish holidays (see Exodus ch.12 and Leviticus ch.23); and it marks the Exodus from Egypt.The highlight of this festival is the Passover (Pesach) Seder, which is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt, and is fully detailed in the Torah (Exodus 12) and our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, perek 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, have 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.
The holiday of Passover officially begins on the evening of Monday, March 25th (in 2013). Most people who celebrate Passover will have a seder either on the 25th or the 26th.
