Passover commemorates the
Exodus from Egypt and the liberation of the Israelites from slavery.
Passover commemorates God's sparing of the Hebrew firstborn as he saw the
blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts of their houses on the night of
the Tenth Plague,
The Festival of the
Unleavened Bread refers to the week-long period
when leaven has been
removed, and
unleavened |
|
bread or matzo
("flatbread"), the holiday's primary symbol, is
eaten to recall the rapid departure of the
Israelites from Egypt. For a FUN PASSOVER
cartoon and info click

don't miss it, it's hilarious!! Plus a Passover
Seder Symbol Song.
