The eight-day festival of Pesach is celebrated in the early spring, Pesach (Passover) 2025 is from April 12 through April 20.
Pesach is divided into two parts:
The first two days and last two days are full-fledged holidays. Holiday candles are lit at night, and Kiddush and sumptuous holiday meals are enjoyed on both nights and days.
The middle four days are called Chol Hamoed, semi-festive “intermediate days,” when most forms of work are permitted.
At the International Center, we welcome you to join us for both Seders and holiday and Shabbat dinners & lunches.
