The University extends warm wishes to all of our colleagues, students, alumni and friends marking the religious festival of Passover.
Passover – also called Pesach – commencing on 22 April and running until 30 April.
One of the most important festivals in the Jewish calendar, it is a commemoration of the departure of the Jewish people from slavery in Ancient Egypt, as set out in The Book of Exodus.
The festival begins with the Seder meal, a tradition dating back 3336 years, where the story is passed on to the next generation, symbolic foods and drink are enjoyed, and families, friends and strangers are welcomed.
