Passover

Passover is a special holiday that Jewish people celebrate every year to remember an important event that happened a long time ago. It all started with a man named Moses, who lived a really long time ago. Moses was chosen by God to help the Jewish people escape slavery in Egypt.

When the Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, refused to let the Jewish people go, God sent ten plagues to convince him to change his mind. The last plague was the most terrible of them all. God told Moses to tell the people to put lamb's blood on their doorposts, so that the Angel of Death would "pass over" their homes and not harm their firstborn sons.

After this happened, the Pharaoh finally let the Jewish people go free. They had to leave Egypt quickly so they didn't have time to wait for their bread to rise, so they baked flat bread called matzo instead. That's why during Passover, Jewish people don't eat anything that has yeast in it.

Passover is celebrated for eight days, during which Jewish people have special meals, tell stories, and sing songs to remember what happened. They also have a special ceremony called a Seder, during which they eat specific foods and read from the Haggadah, a special book that tells the story of the Exodus from Egypt.
