Jewish Passover??

Question

I heared a comment yesturday that it is almost Jewish Passover??? When and What is Jewish Passover. I know about the Passover in Moses times, but what is being celebrated. Is it just recognizing God's deliverance?

Answer 1

Passover (Pesach) is a memorial for Israel for all time. It is celebrated on the 14th of Nisan (Abib) every year. The reason that it seems to rotate every year is because the Hebrew calendar is a lunar one, based on a 30 day month. The Gregorian (typical) calendar is a solar calendar.

The descendants of Israel have a seder (order) meal, where a variety of foods are served, each one having a certain significance. If you've never been to one before, I really encourage it. They are a blessing, and have tremendous significance.

This year it begins on April 2nd at sundown, and goes through the 10th. (The Feast of Unleavened Bread)

Answer 2

Passover (Heb., pe′sach; Gr., pa′skha) was instituted the evening preceding the Exodus from Egypt. The first Passover was observed about the time of full moon, on the 14th day of Abib (later called Nisan) in the year 1513 B.C.E. This was thereafter to be celebrated annually. (Ex 12:17-20, 24-27) Abib (Nisan) falls within the months March-April of the Gregorian calendar. Passover was followed by seven days of the Festival of Unfermented Cakes, Nisan 15-21. Passover commemorates the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt and the ‘passing over’ of their firstborn when Jehovah destroyed the firstborn of Egypt. Seasonally, it fell at the beginning of the barley harvest.—Ex 12:14, 24-47; Le 23:10.

Answer 3

Passover (Pesach) begins in April (this year, it begins the 2nd, i believe) is celebrating and remembering the Passover in Moses' time. It is celebrating G-d bringing the Jewish people out of Egypt and slavery.

We have a seder, with foods that symbolize the bitterness of slavery and the lamb whose blood on our doorposts saved us from the Angel of Death, and other things. We also have matzah (matzo) in remembrance of the bread our people ate on their way out of Egypt.

During Pesach (April 2, 2007 - nightfall April 10, 2007) Jews don't eat leavened bread or anything with yeast in it to remember the Exodus. We clean the house entirely to clean out all the yeast and forbidden foods and only eat matzah where we would normally eat bread or other things. Ashkenazim (Jews from Europe) do not eat rice during Pesach while Sephardim (Jews from Spain and that area) do.

During Passover, there are certain traditions we follow while having a seder. We read the hagaddah (the story of the Exodus) and ask the youngest at the table four questions, drink four cups of wine, and many other things. Check out the below website for more info.
