What children should know about Passover?

When Pharaoh Ramses II liberated the Israelites (Jewish slaves) from Egypt, Passover was a Jewish feast to commemorate the event. Passover is the name given to the festival by the ancient Jews who left Egypt because their firstborn children were "passed over" and saved from death.

Despite the fact that they may be terrifying to young children, these symbols of the holiday's central theme of release from slavery to death and destruction cannot be omitted while discussing Passover. 

Positive characters like optimism and resiliency will take centre stage, though. Here's how you relate the Passover tale to children, as well as how to explain some of the most frequent celebrations and rituals.

So, if you would like to celebrate the Passover days in a quality place with your children and other family members, you should let your kids know these basics. Also, the Pesach Programs providers of recent times offer great facilities and beautiful places for you to spend the time properly.

Passover: What is it, and why does it matter?

Three thousand years ago, an evil Egyptian ruler forced ancient Jews to labor in the hot sun building structures and hauling heavy bricks. He fed and slept them little, thrashed them by his men, and didn't pay them. 

Due to the lack of time with their family, they were distressed. So cruel was Pharaoh, the Egyptian monarch, that even his newborn sons were slaughtered. With her baby boy in the basket, she fearlessly swam down the Nile River. 

As much as she loved being a mother to him, she wanted him to survive. Moses was saved and raised as a royal when Pharaoh's daughter discovered him, called him Moses, and adopted him as her own. 

This religion says that God unleashed a series of ten plagues on Egypt in order to chastise the Pharaoh and release the Israelites. Bloody frogs, itchy lice infestation, wild creatures roaming the towns, cows that had died, people with boils on their skin, hail storms, locust swarms, and the sun going gone for three days were only some of the things that happened. The obstinate Pharaoh, on the other hand, kept torturing his subjects.

The Pharaoh was ultimately swayed after this catastrophe. The people were delighted, but they were wary of Pharaoh because they feared he would break his promise once again. As soon as the dough had risen, they took it and followed Moses into the desert, their sole source of nourishment being this "matzo."

They arrived at the Red Sea on the sixth day of their expedition. There was too much water for them to swim across, and they were fatigued. Because the Pharaoh's army was pursuing them, their optimism was destroyed. 

That's when Moses was given the ability to split the sea by extending his arm to God's glory. When Pharaoh's troops pursued the Jews across the river, the road became impassable, and the sea swallowed them all.

When there was no risk, Moses' sister Miriam led a group of ladies in joyful celebration.
