Passover

Passover is a Jewish and Samaritan holy day.

Passover begins on 15th day (full moon) of the month of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar.

Traditionally, Passover spans seven days

A significant observance related to Passover involves the removal of chametz from homes.

Chametz is any leavened product made from wheat, rye, barley, oats, or spelt.

This is a symbolic way of removing “puffiness” (arrogance and pride) from our souls.

The grain product eaten during Passover is called Matza .

Matza is unleavened bread devoid of puffiness...

…and is available in a variety of textures for cooking.

Eating matza is considered a positive mitzvah (commandment).

Matza is part of the seder meal.

The seder is a special dinner on the first night of Passover.

Other than Matza, Seder includes Maror (bitter herbs).

Also four cups of wine are drunk.
