ABOUT PASSOVER
Jewish people celebrate each spring the holiday of
"Pesach" or "Passover", named so to commemorate the miracles
and redemption of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
The celebration is marked with a Seder, a festive
meal with family and friends during which the story of the
redemption from slavery in Egypt is retold.

Forced to work nights and days.
Moses, who saw the great suffering of his people, begged
God to help the Israelites and God listened to his prayers.
