Passover is an eight-day Jewish holiday celebrated in the early spring, from the 15th to the 22nd of Nissan. This year, it falls on April 12–20, 2025.

Passover, or Pesach, commemorates G‑d freeing the Jewish people from over 200 years of slavery in ancient Egypt. After striking Egypt with ten plagues, Moshe, G-D's messenger, led the Jews to freedom. The name Pesach means “to pass over,” referring to how G‑d spared the Jewish homes during the final plague, the death of the firstborn.

We observe Passover by avoiding leavened foods (bread and most products made from the five grains) and by celebrating with Seder meals, which include: four cups of wine, matzah (unleavened bread), bitter herbs, retelling the story of the Exodus.

Join us as we celebrate freedom, faith, and tradition together!

Passover revolves around three key traditions:

1️⃣ The Seder – A meaningful and interactive experience.

2️⃣ No Chametz – Avoiding leavened bread and selling any chametz before the holiday.

3️⃣ Eating Matzah – Especially Shmurah Matzah, the best way to fulfill this mitzvah.

At Chabad, we have everything you need to prepare! Check out the links below to:
