Passover Gifts

Passover (also known as Pesach) is a major Jewish holiday that is derived from the Bible. Passover is a celebration of the liberation of the Jews from slavery by God and their freedom under Moses. Passover Pesach is a commemoration of the story of the Exodus as detailed in the Hebrew Bible around 1300 BC.

More about Pesach

Pesach is celebrated in spring, a tradition that is connected to the offering of barley, the first ripe grain that was harvested in Israel.

In the Bible, the Exodus tells the great miracle of how God helped the Children of Israel escape slavery from the Egyptians by inflicting 10 plagues, which resulted in the Pharaoh releasing his Jewish slaves. The worst of these plagues was the last one and this caused the death of every Egyptian first-born. The Israelites escaped the plague by marking their home doorposts with the blood of slaughtered spring lambs, a signal for the spirit of the Lord. When the Jews were freed, they left in a hurry, not being able to afford to wait for the leavening of the bread dough. Hence, instead of leavened bread, matzo, or flat unleavened bread is eaten during Passover.

Pesach is also the time for gifting to the near and dear ones. Passover gifts of all types exchange hands during the time of the celebration. Some of the popular gifts for Passover include
