Passover | Jewish Historical Society

Passover is a time to be with family and friends to rejoice and celebrate our freedom. We live in perilous times where millions of people throughout the world, especially in Ukraine, are fighting for their lives and freedom. Let’s be thankful for the freedom we have and support the others who are fighting for their freedom. We wish all of you a happy and healthy Pesach and hope the photos below bring back fond memories.
