Passover, or Pesach (from: פֶּסַח in Hebrew, Yiddish),
Tiberian: [pɛsaħ] , Modern Hebrew: /ˈpesaχ/ Pesah, Pesakh, Yiddish: Peysekh, Paysakh, Paysokh) is an important Biblically-derived Jewish festival. It is the first of Judaism's Three Pilgrimage Festivals (שלוש רגלים), the other two being Shavuot ("Pentecost") and Sukkot ("Tabernacles").



The Jewish people celebrate Passover as a commemoration of their liberation over 3,300 years ago by God from slavery in ancient Egypt that was ruled by the Pharaohs, and their birth as a nation under the leadership of Moses. It commemorates the story of the Exodus as described in the Hebrew Bible especially in the Book of Exodus, in which the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt.
