Publisher Description: The most celebrated holiday in the Jewish year, Passover commemorates the Exodus of Hebrew slaves from Egypt to freedom over 3,500 years ago. This colorful book explores the many forms that this weeklong celebration takes worldwide. Deborah Heiligman's rich text details the long, lavish meals called seders, at which the Exodus is recalled in ritual, prayer, song, and story.
