Passover is an eight-day celebration of the Jewish people being freed from slavery in Egypt; it is a celebration of freedom. The first two nights are of special importance as Jewish families traditionally celebrate at home with special meals and services. Some families may observe work restrictions at the beginning and end of the eight-day span; many families will only eat certain foods. Source: Britannica, T.
