Passover begins tonight at sunset, kicking off eight days of observance that celebrate freedom, family, and gratitude. Amid Seders that remember the Exodus, celebrate the Jewish identity, and enjoy traditional foods like matzah and kugel, Passover is also a time to empathize with those under oppression and commit to working towards universal freedom. Chag Pesach Sameach!
