Guide Note:The Passover (or Pesach) is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the journey of the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. The story behind the holiday is told from a book that is known as the Haggadah. It is traditional for a young child at the Passover meal, called a seder to ask The Four Questions for Passover. These questions provide a framework for telling the story of the Exodus.
