  3. What is Pesach? Pesach means Passover. It is one of the most important Jewish festivals, and is celebrated every year. Pesach commemorates when God rescued the Jews from slavery in Egypt. It is called ‘passover’ because when God killed all the firstborn Egyptians, he ‘passed over’ the houses of the Jews. You can read the full Passover story in the book of Exodus. Pesach starts on the evening of the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan and lasts for seven or eight days. Pesach usually falls in March or April.
