Passover, or Pesach, is the Jewish holiday that remembers the Exodus, when the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. Families gather for the seder, a festive meal where the story is retold from the Haggadah, and eat matzah instead of leavened bread for the length of the holiday.
A Passover card is a kind way to reach family and friends during the holiday, whether or not you are Jewish yourself. This guide covers the 2027 dates, how to write the card, Hebrew greetings, and Passover wishes for family, friends, coworkers and kids.
