Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is a major Jewish festival celebrated worldwide, and Argentina, with one of the largest Jewish communities in Latin America, observes this holiday with reverence and festivity.
History and Traditions: Passover commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery as described in the Book of Exodus. It lasts for eight days (in some traditions, seven), beginning on the 15th day of Nisan in the Jewish calendar. The first two nights are typically marked by the Seder, a ritual feast that involves reading from the Haggadah (a text that sets forth the order of the Passover Seder), eating matzah (unleavened bread), and other symbolic foods placed on the Seder plate.
Observance in Argentina:
The first day sets the tone for an eight-day period filled with reflection on freedom and heritage for Argentine Jews amidst shared meals and community gatherings.
