The holiday dates back thousands of years and is rich in symbolic rituals and foods, each element telling a piece of the exodus story. Pesach brings families together to retell this history and celebrate their enduring spirit. It's a truly magical time of reflection, remembrance, and rejoicing. So let’s together embrace this blessed journey of liberation and faith.
