Passover/Pesach
Passover is one of the most profound feasts in Scripture, commemorating God’s miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It is a celebration rich with history,symbolism, and spiritual depth — from the blood on the doorposts to the unleavened bread and the Passover lamb. Beyond remembering the Exodus, Passover points forward to God’s ultimate redemption through Messiah Yeshua, offering timeless lessons of faith, freedom, and God’s covenantal faithfulness.
Growing up, going to church always meant taking communion. Long before we began learning about God’s Feasts, we started to realise that this meal was instituted during Passover. Without a Jewish framework, though, it took time to understand what that really meant.
Eventually, it became clear that the origins of this meal go back to the Exodus, when God brought the Israelites out of Egypt. A lamb was sacrificed so that the Angel of Death would pass over their homes. This was a powerful picture of what Yeshua did for us—taking our sin upon Himself.
There are a few things about Passover that stand out. First, it is observed once a year, and it has been faithfully kept by the Jewish people for thousands of years. Second, the bread is unleavened, symbolising the call to be without sin. As Shaul (Paul) writes, we are invited to remove the old leaven and walk in sincerity and truth:
“Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Messiah, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”
(1 Corinthians 5:7–8)
Passover celebrates Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, reminding us of God’s power, faithfulness, and the redemption that brings freedom and new beginnings.

The Scandalous Backstory of Ruth & Boaz
Every year at the Seder, there’s a temptation to focus on the small stories in the beginning of the Haggadah. But by the time you get to the Exodus story, everyone’s tired and wants to get to the meal. As a result, many of the key questions about the story are missed. Join Rabbi Fohrman as he explores some of these key questions in the Haggadah’s telling of the Exodus story, and never think of the Seder the same way again.
