Every year on the 14th day of the first month of the Hebrew year (Nisan), Jews around the world celebrate Pesach (Passover). Passover. The festival is dedicated to the flight of the Jews from Egypt and the worship of God through redemption

The celebration begins in the evening with a festive meal- Passover Seder. It symbolizes the last night before the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt. The Passover Plate contains symbolic foods- unleavened bread (Matzah), roasted meat, bitter herbs and a hard-boiled egg. On the first day of the feast, all firstborn males spend the day fasting. This fast day is known as Taanit Bechorot.
