Passover starts on Wednesday

Passover will begin this year at sundown on Wednesday, April 5^th.  Families and friends will gather to remember the exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The celebration begins with a traditional meal, the Seder, where the story of Exodus is retold and special foods are eaten to remember that long ago passage.
