Yom Hasho'ah Vehagevurah

What is Pesach?


"We were slaves
to Pharaoh in Egypt
and God took us out of there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm.
"

It may still be cold and snowy outside, but everywhere there are signs that spring is on the way. The snow is finally melting and the trees are growing new leaves. Here and there a patch of bright green grass is poking through the snow. Everywhere life is beginning anew. This is the perfect season for a holiday: we even call it Hag Ha'aviv, the Holiday of Spring.
