Passover

It is a Jewish festival that takes place in the Spring. It commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt, and it's observed for 8 days by orthodox Jews outside Israel, and 7 days for all other Jews.

There are different opinions on whether or not perfumes containing chametz alcohol are permitted during Pesach. If you're not sure, you should check with your Rabbi.

Please see the related link for an explanation of the different opinions.

The dining table is laid out with normal place settings (plates, cutlery, glasses, etc.), the Seder plate, matzot, bottles of wine, and bowls of salt water. There isn't a plate for Eliyahu, it's a full glass of wine that sits next to the Seder plate.

It comes from the Torah. Exodus chapter 12.

Jews celebrate Passover because it is commanded in the Torah (Exodus ch.12). It 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. Certain prayers are added in the synagogue services, and the Torah is read each day.

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. Either horseradish or romaine lettuce is 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 vegetable into salt water (which represents tears) recalls the pain felt by the Jewish 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.

They visit a ritual bath called a mikvah.

The 6th plague was the plague of boils.

As soon a passover ends, leavened foods are again permissible, subject to other general kosher laws.

The Passover celebration commemorates the flight from Egypt. There was no Passover meal before the flight.

The understanding that I got from my reading is he was not allowed to enter the promise land because he did not do what god told him to do. The fist time god told moses to hit the rock with his rod and water would come out and the second time he was supposed to speak to the rock but instead he hit it twice with his rod and water came out.

Thousands of years ago.

No.

Kaddish is said every day of the year.

The different glasses of wine drunk during the seder do not have specific names.

lit- it is money for wheat. Colloquially it has become the term for charitable giving which goes to help people pay for all of necessities of making Passover. Included in that is the cost of Matzoh, Wine, Kosher for Passover food, as well as clothing for the Holiday. It is seen as an obligation even after one has given their annual charitable giving, and is thematically related to the idea of experiencing Freedom on Passover.

Moses was the greatest Jewish prophet who led the Israelites out of slavery and to the Promised Land. He isn't actually mentioned when reading the story of the exodus from Egypt during the Pesach seder.

In Jewish history, an unblemished lamb, the firstborn of its mother, was sacrificed in the Temple to represent or stand as a symbol of the Lamb of God who would eventually be sacrificed for our atonement. This was part of the Law of Moses that God gave to our ancient Israelite ancestors. It was designed to remind them that the Son of God would come and atone for their sins. Unfortunately, they lost sight of that over time. However, when Jesus came, he fulfilled the law of Moses and taught that the sacrifice he wanted from then on was a broken heart and a contrite spirit. This was actually what God wants (and wanted) from all His children, no matter what age of time they have lived. That innocent lamb represented an innocent Savior.

The holiday of Passover isn't a morality story.
