Welcome to
Celebrating Passover
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever
-Exodus 12:14
If you are interested in celebrating the Passover with family or friends, we are including here the resources to help you do so.
One BIG something we would like to remind you of is Passover is about setting captives free! Don’t get bound up in the preparation/traditions and miss the heart of this very special feast. If you want to celebrate do what works for you and your family. There are many lessons to be learned from this feast, from the preparations to the actual celebrating. But don’t work yourself so hard that by the day of the celebration you are too exhausted to enjoy it. Don’t become captive by tradition.
We are including a Haggadah we have written for our own use. If you have studied how many celebrate you will find that we have left some observances out, other observances we may have included that others do not. Use it with our blessing in whatever way you desire, just not for monetary profit. It is our desire to share for free.
