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.
