Similar to all religions, Judaism has many celebrations and festivals. These holidays are a huge part of the religion. They are a time to reflect on their faith,spend time with family, and really have a chance to thank God for all He has done for them. It also is a time to unwind and just have fun with love ones. These festivals include: Hanukkuah, Purim, Passover, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur.

Passover remembers the Jews leaving Egypt and going to the Promise Land. The celebration centers around freedom and what the Jews did to get their freedom . The eve of Passover is the preparation of the rituals. The night of is when they have their seder meal which represents what the Jews ate right before they left Egypt. An example is matza, unleaven bread becuase they did not have time to bake bread.( www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org)
