“Tonight, as the sun sets, Alberta’s Jewish community will gather to begin observing Passover, commemorating the Exodus from Egypt.
“Passover, one of the three Pilgrimage Festivals, is celebrated over eight days and marks the liberation of the Jewish people. Families and communities come together during this time of reflection, resilience and faith to strengthen their bonds and recall the journey from slavery to freedom.
“As the Jewish community in Alberta and around the world observes this important holiday, may the themes of freedom, resilience and renewal at the heart of Passover bring hope and comfort to all.
“Chag Pesach kasher v’sameach – wishing you a happy and kosher Passover.”
