In this special edition of our REACH podcast, Saskia Epstein-Tasgal talks to Jewish colleagues Zac Forman, Katharine Hurwitz and Jordana Moser about Passover and what it means to them.
Passover, known as Pesach in Hebrew, is an 8 day Jewish festival that was celebrated at the start of April, starting with a big meal called the Seder on the first 2 nights of the holiday. During this Seder, family and friends gather to retell the story of the Israelites escaping Egypt and ultimately their freedom from slavery.
It’s a time to reflect on this freedom and celebrate the rebirth as free people, whilst also getting together with family and friends and eating a festive meal.
The panel discusses what Passover means to them as different Jewish people, including how they observe Passover and some of their traditions and cultural experiences during this time.
Have a listen here to find out more about this Jewish festival and how it is celebrated in different ways.
