Passover commemorates the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt, as recounted in the Book of Exodus. Moses plays a central role in this story as the leader who leads the Israelites out of Egypt and receives the Ten Commandments from God at Mount Sinai. The festival is celebrated over seven days, during which unleavened bread (matzah) is eaten and a Seder meal is held on the first two nights.
2. Shavuot
Shavuot, also known as the Feast of Weeks, is celebrated seven weeks after Passover. It marks the giving of the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai and the subsequent covenant between God and the Israelites. The festival is traditionally celebrated with the reading of the Book of Ruth and the eating of dairy products.
3. Sukkot
Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, commemorates the Israelites' journey through the desert after the Exodus from Egypt. During the festival, Jews construct temporary shelters (sukkahs) in which they dwell for seven days. Sukkot is also associated with the giving of water from the rock by Moses in the desert.
