PESACH (PASSOVER)
‘Pesach’ (Passover) is all about freedom. It’s all about Almighty G-d taking the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt to freedom and ultimately to Mount Sinai where G-d sealed the Nation of Israel as His chosen people and where He instituted the Mosaic Covenant.
On the evening of the 22nd April, corresponding to the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, Jewish people all over the world will begin celebrating ‘Pesach’ (Passover).
‘Pesach’ is a joyous festival and it is usually celebrated by the entire family (uncles, aunts, cousins etc).
The word ‘Pesach’ means to pass through, to pass over, to exempt or to spare. It refers to the fact that G-d “passed over” the houses of the Children of Israel when he was slaying the firstborn of Egypt.
