Easter & Passover - a delicious alternative to try with your family this Holiday.
Passover 2023 is held the eve of 5th April - 13th April.
Passover is a week-long festival in the Jewish calendar that commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
In short, Passover is one of the most important events in the Jewish calendar which is why families worldwide are preparing for it now as the holiday is not far away. It is celebrated over eight days and commences with Seder, a traditional ritual feast. During the celebration, Jews reflect on the story of Moses and how he led his people to freedom from slavery.

A little bit more of the official meaning behind Passover: -
Passover, Pesach in Hebrew, (April 6-13, 2023) commemorates the Exodus from Egypt. After generations of bondage, God sent Moses to demand that Pharaoh release the Jewish people from slavery. When he refused, God afflicted the Egyptians with Ten Plagues. Days after Israel's departure, Pharaoh and his army pursued them, only to be drowned, as the Sea of Reeds split for Israel and re-converged upon the Egyptians.
On Passover we eat matzah – both the food we ate as slaves and the symbol of our redemption. We may neither eat nor own any foods containing leaven. We prepare for Passover by cleaning the house, searching for and removing all item containing leaven and burning the remainder on Passover eve.
Passover begins with the Seder (the nights of the and ), in which we commemorate the Exodus with matzah, marror, and four cups of wine, and where we recount the story of Passover.
