The story of Passover portrays the Jewish people’s liberation from slavery in Egypt. It is described as a spring festival commemorating this freedom and pilgrimage to Jerusalem. After the ten plagues hit the people of Egypt, the Pharaoh freed the Israelites. The Jewish people had to leave their homes in such a hurry that they couldn’t wait for their bread to leaven. Therefore, we eat unleavened bread called Matzoh to remember this time. We kick off this time with a Seder – a
