Pesah

Passover, widely known by its Hebrew name, Pesah, commemorates the exodus from Egypt. On a spiritual level, the festival confronts us with the notion of redemption. In terms of the calendar, it occurs in the spring.

All three of these concepts—freedom, redemption, and springtime—come together in different aspects of Passover observance.
