The Jewish festival of Passover starts at sundown and continues for seven day. It begins on the 15th day of the month of Nisan (today), which is the first month in the Hebrew calendar. Passover includes various prayer services and foods that all have meaning, as Passover remembers the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. Despite being someone who was raised in no organized religion, I appreciate the importance of having rituals and ceremonies that go back in history, commemorate beliefs held by generations, and provide a framework for the past, present and future.
