You’re not Jewish? No Jewish heritage in your family or even on your neighborhood block? That’s ok; you can still enjoy the rich cultural and religious history of the Passover by creating a learning experience for your family at home! It’s a wonderful tradition, full of symbolism, history, and faith. This year Passover starts on April 20th and continues for 7 days. You’ll probably start to see kosher items on shelves in your grocery store now.

The scriptures describe him as a “hairy man” (2 Kings 1: 8) which explains the artist’s impression of him.
