The feast begins the evening before, at sunset.
Passover lasts seven days in Israel and eight days in the Diaspora; the number of Yom Tov days also differs.
Understanding PASSOVER
Passover recalls the Exodus from Egypt. The Seder passes on this story from one generation to the next, around the Matzah and the children's questions.
The tradition of Maot Chitim (Kimcha DePischa) is about helping families in need before the feast so they can prepare for Passover.
Traditions
- Remembering the Exodus from Egypt.
- The Seder and the Haggadah.
- The Matzot.
- The prohibition of Chametz.
- Passing the story on to children.
- Maot Chitim / Kimcha DePischa: help given before the feast to families in need.
When a practice varies, it is presented as a custom according to communities, not as a universal obligation.
What this feast teaches us
« Passover is a feast of freedom. But when a family does not know how to buy what they need, the feast can become a source of anguish. »
