Passover Word Search
Passover recalls the departure of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt and opens on the fifteenth day of the Hebrew month of Nisan. The seder meal follows a book called the haggadah, with flat matzah standing in for bread that had no time to rise. The holiday runs seven days in Israel and eight in most communities elsewhere.
