THere are a number from the start of the Jewish Year beginning in Tishrei (october/september time) the first 2 days of the year are called Rosh Hashanah and is mentioned in the bible a nmber of times (numbers 29) it is called also the day of the judgement or remembering as God judges our deeds in the past year today it involves a longer prayer service than other festivals and the blowing of the shofar (a type of trumpet if you will made from the horn of a kosher animal) as well as festive meals. After that comes Yom Kippur, the day of atonement on the 10th of the jewish month today it involves an extensive prayer and penintance service as well as fasting not wearing of leather shoes and other forms of penitance. After that on the 15th of the month is the feast of tabernacles in which we sit outside in huts made out of wood and leafy coverings an remembrance of how God protected us for 40 years in the desert that runs for seven days straight sfter on the 22nd is another festival for one day both tabernacles and its followers are very joyous with festive meals every day. After there is a break until the 15th of Nissan on which begins Passover (this coming monday night.) to commemerate God taking us out of egypt also involving celebration festive feasts and no leavened bread roughly seven weeks after that is th one day festival of Shavuot which commemerates God giving us the torah and festive feast. most have the custom to stay up all night and study the torah and thats a wrap. the sacrifices are all found in the area of numbers mentioned earlier the other commandments are scattered around the torah in various places

The Jewish tradition may have come from earlier Roman Spring feasts.A Jewish holiday or Jewish Festival is a day or series of days observed by Jews ... a fast day, that commemorates two of the saddest days in Jewish history.

Jewish call it pesach!!!!
they don't eat bread, or anything with flour unless its a flour made of potato!!!! you can buy matza or matzot instead of bread... it taste good but a lot of carbohydrate!! happy holiday!!
