Passover 2025 is almost here! Here's what you need to know about how to celebrate Pesach from start and end date to what to eat for a Seder meal.

Known as "Pesach" in Hebrew, Passover commemorates pivotal events in the Book of Exodus. Jews celebrate the freeing of Israelite slaves from Egypt and Moses guiding them to the Promised Land. The eight-day event often coincides with Easter week but alternates yearly based on the lunar cycle and starts the night of a full moon.

Passover, the most widely observed Jewish holiday, begins Saturday evening. For those who observe the Jewish holiday, Passover (also known as Pesach) is a time to reunite with family and recount the exodus from Egypt at a meal called the Seder. Observant Jews may also avoid eating certain grains as part of the holiday.
