6 Reasons to Celebrate Passover This Year: A Blog Catering to Jewish Cuisine

Passover is a lovely celebration of freedom, renewal and family. It's not an easy holiday to celebrate. But it can be made easier with a few planning tips and helpful hints on food preparation and Jewish trips.

The Jewish holiday of Passover is one of the most fun holidays in the Jewish calendar. For eight days, Jews all over the world are freed from the bondage of chametz. Chametz or leavened bread is any food that was produced from five specific grains: wheat, rye, barley, oats and spelt. These grains contain a potential form of life called chametz which may be activated by moisture and heat, causing the food to rise or become leavened. This is why most breads are made using these five grains – and this is why Jews all over the world refrain from eating bread during Passover!

While most people associate Passover with a week of abstaining from bread and leavened products, there is so much more to the holiday than just that. We wanted to share some of our favorite reasons to celebrate this season.

The Seder is a celebration of the liberation of Jews from slavery in Egypt — and it's over 3,000 years old.

Though the Seder celebrates an important Jewish history, it can teach us about human nature as well. Passover is about freedom, which is something we can all relate to on some level. It celebrates an event in biblical times when the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt through the power of God. The story is so famous that it's been adapted into numerous films, including "The Prince of Egypt."

The Seder is a family meal that highlights the value Judaism places on family relationships. Passover is a family-centered holiday that has been passed down through generations for thousands of years. The rituals, songs and symbols have been passed down orally through storytelling, and have even been encoded in Jewish DNA.

The Seder has been part of Jewish homes for thousands of years. It is a great way to teach children about their history and culture. According to Jewish tradition, this time of the year is supposed to be one of thanksgiving and gratitude. We are all aware of the troubles in the world; it's time for us to take a step back and give thanks for all that we have.

The story of Exodus from Egypt is one we all know from Sunday school, but Passover is also a holiday that offers poignant questions and insights into our own lives today.

According to Jewish tradition, if you are going to celebrate Passover you must hold a Seder meal with family and friends. This meal is centered around reading and retelling of the story of Exodus from the Torah. The Seder is known for its special foods, including delicious recipes like haroset and charoset.

The holiday commemorates the freeing of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. One of its major symbols is the unleavened bread that the Israelites made when they were fleeing for their lives.
