“That is considered one of the greatest luxuries because it means that we're alive, and we have the ability to eat in freedom.” And it is the last thing we eat at the Passover seder meal,” Kaufman said. On March 23, Muslims began the holy month of Ramadan, the month when Muslims believe the first verses of the Quran, their holy scripture, were revealed to the blessed Prophet, Muhammad. In the West, Christians celebrated the resurrection of Jesus on Sunday, the day the Bible says he rose, the first Sunday after 14 Nisan. In some families, the afikomen is hidden. And the thing that helps us do that is the Haggadah.” The egg is eaten after it, too, is dipped in salt water. Kaufman explained that the dietary changes “reflect the plight of the Israelites as they left Egypt,” The Egyptians' repeated refusals to free them results in a series of 10 plagues, and miracles at the hand of Moses. “Every single Haggadah will have the same general order of events. “It commemorates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt as told in the Bible.” "So, we commemorate the time when the Jewish people really became a Jewish people.

Sadly, if you’re a dark spirits enthusiast, it can be tricky to find a kosher rum, Bourbon or a Scotch, Irish or Japanese whisky since most are not kosher. For instance, the well known White Claw brand is not kosher-certified, while in the US, some brands available like Vizzy Hard Seltzer is kosher, and so is Coors Seltzer. If a wine is kosher, it will likely say so on the label. when it comes to drinks like hard seltzers, it really depends on the brand. Most vodka brands produced from 100% neutral grain spirits are considered kosher, while some imported selections require certification, so it is always worth checking the label. Wine is often part of the seder and it is tradition to drink it.

A 2023 Passover Guide for the Perplexed (Algemeiner)

Ahead of Passover 2023, here are some facts you should know about the holiday, and the shared values between Israel and America. 1. The Passover Exodus ...

Passover is the first of the three Jewish pilgrimages to Jerusalem, followed by Shavou’ot (Pentecost), which commemorates the receipt of the Ten Commandments, and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), which was named after Sukkota — the first stop in the Exodus. The annual celebration of the Passover legacy — with members of one’s family — underscores the Exodus, the parting of the sea, the Ten Commandments, the Covenant during the 40 years in the desert, and the re-entry to the Land of Israel 3,600 years ago. Tziporah, a daughter of Jethro and Moses’ wife, saved the life of Moses and set him back on the Jewish course (Numbers, 4:24-27). Moreover, letters which were discovered in Tel el Amarna, the capital city of ancient Egypt, documented that the 14th century BCE pharaoh, Amenhotep IV, was informed by the rulers of Jerusalem, Samaria, and other parts of Canaan, about a military offensive launched by the “Habirus” (Hebrews and other Semitic tribes), which corresponded to the timing of Joshua’s offensive against the same rulers. The goal of Passover’s liberty was not the subjugation of the Egyptian people, but the defeat of the tyrannical Pharaoh and the veneration of freedom throughout the globe, including in Egypt. Accordingly, the 40-year-national coalescing of the Jewish people — while wandering in the desert — took place when Egypt was ruled by Thutmose IV.
