Passover, or Pesach, is a major Jewish holiday commemorating the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is one of the three pilgrimage festivals. The holiday lasts seven or eight days, depending on tradition, and involves abstaining from leavened bread (chametz). A central tradition is the Seder, a ritual feast that includes the recounting of the Exodus story through the Haggadah, the consumption of symbolic foods, and the drinking of four cups of wine. Passover emphasizes themes of freedom, liberation, and God's intervention in history.
In 2015, the Conservative movement permitted eating kitniyot on Passover.
In 2016, Passover started on the second full moon after the vernal equinox.
In April 2024, Rabbinical Passover begins at sunset on April 22nd. On the calendar used by the Samaritans, April 22nd, 2024 is also the day of the Passover sacrifice.
In 2024, the 15th of Nisan coincided with Tuesday, April 23rd, meaning that Passover began at sundown on Monday, April 22nd.
