Pesach is one of the most celebrated and widely observed Jewish holidays in the world. It commemorates the release of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt, and is marked by avoiding any food containing leavening agents, such as bread or cake, known as chametz. The holiday is traditionally celebrated with a special meal known as the Seder, which is marked by four cups of wine and featuring a retelling of the story of the Exodus from Egypt. It also includes eating matzah and bitter herbs as a reminder of the bitterness of slavery. Many Jews celebrate Passover at a Passover Program or Pesach Hotel Resort. There are Passover programs throughout the United States, Europe, Mexico, Bahamas, Morocco, Israel, South America, South Africa, Israel and Dubai. This year, there are programs in Thailand, Turkey, Tunisia and Taba-Sinai.

 

At Passover, we are not only celebrating the freedom of the Jewish people from captivity in Egypt, but also from the arduous preparations required for properly celebrating the holiday. Pesach is an incredibly labor-intensive process; it requires a comprehensive cleaning of one's home, as well as hours of shopping and cooking to prepare for the seder. That is why many people choose to join a Pesach program and let someone else take care of the details. Most programs offer full board, traditional prayer services, lectures and entertainment for adults as well as child-care options for families with children.
