What is passover 2018?

Passover 2018 began on Friday, March 30th and ended on Saturday, April 7th. It is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. The celebration typically involves a traditional Seder meal, which includes symbolic foods such as matzah (unleavened bread) and bitter herbs, and retelling the story of the exodus. During Passover, observers refrain from eating leavened bread products and instead consume only unleavened bread, or matzah. The holiday also involves other rituals and traditions, such as the search for chametz (leavened bread) in the home and the symbolic opening and closing of the door for Elijah the prophet.
