Passover, or Pesach, is a major Jewish holiday commemorating the Exodus of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. The festival lasts for seven days in Israel and for eight days in the Diaspora. Its observance is centered on the Seder meal, a ritual feast held on the first one or two nights of Passover, during which the story of the Exodus is retold from the Haggadah.
Books on Passover explore the holiday's origins, meaning, and practices. These texts delve into the historical narrative of the Exodus, the theological implications of liberation, and the specific laws and customs associated with the festival, such as the avoidance of chametz (leavened products) and the consumption of matzah. Resources often include explanations of Seder rituals, interpretations of the Haggadah, and discussions of the holiday's enduring themes of freedom and redemption.
