On Pesach (Passover) we read the Haggadah

Haggadah means the telling

Here are some Stories of Pesach to share at your Seder

Pesach – Passover begins at sundown on 8 April 2020.  People in the Jewish communities throughout the world will read the Haggadah telling of the miracles surrounding the journey of leaving slavery. Bondage takes many forms and the age-old tradition of telling stories in the presence of matzah, maror and the seder plate reminds us of freedom and the hope that surrounds the kos shel Eliyahu (the Cup of Elijah). The stories carry messages of greatness, nobility, and wisdom while at the same time raising the hopes for a better tomorrow.
