What is Passover (Pesach)?
At the heart of Passover are the Seders, held on the first two nights, where the story of the Exodus is retold through an interactive experience.
The Seder connects each generation to this foundational moment in Jewish history and brings its message to life. Passover takes place from April 21 to April 29, 2027.
