Passover or Pesach, which begins on the 15th of Nissan is an eight-day holiday (seven days in Israel), and is observed in commemoration of the Jews' redemption from slavery and subsequent exodus from Egypt during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses II, in the thirteenth century BCE. While Passover spans over an eight-day period, only the first two and last two days are considered to be full holidays. The middle four days are referred to hol ha-Moed or "secular days of the holiday" since Jews are permitted to work on these day.

The holiday's name, Pesach, meaning "passing over" or "protection" in Hebrew, is derived from the instructions given to Moses by G-d.   According to the Haggadah, or “The Book of Remembrance,” G-d told Moses to ask Pharaoh to set the Jews free from their bondage.  Moses pled “let my people go,” but was ignored. Moses warned the Pharaoh that G-d would send severe punishments to the people of Egypt if the Israelites were not freed, yet again the Pharaoh ignored Moses' request. In response G-d unleashed a series of 10 terrible plagues on the people of Egypt. Blood ran in the Nile River, frogs, gnats, flies, and locusts swarmed, disease ran rampant through herds of cattle, boils and sores emerged on the bodies of men and animals, hail destroyed crops and cattle, and darkness filled the sky when it should have been day.  For His last plague, G-d intended to kill the first-born of both man and beast. To find protection from His wrath, the Israelites were told to mark their dwellings with lamb's blood so that G-d could identify and "pass over" their homes.

While Jews are not required to retell the events surrounding each holiday that they celebrate, Passover is the one time it is imperative to recount history with elaborate detail: the Torah commands us to “tell thy son,” passing on to each generation the tradition of reading the Haggadah.  The great story is told during the Seder meal, which is held on the first two nights of Passover.  The Seder service generally follows a set of standard of narration: near the beginning of the Seder, the youngest child poses the Ma Nistanah, four questions regarding the meaning of Passover. This is an invitation to the adults gathered to recount the story and explain the symbolism surrounding this holiday.
