The House of Representatives voted Wednesday on a resolution to nullify the basis of President Donald Trump's tariffs against Canadian goods. In a rare departure from party unity, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to roll back portions of former President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods.

Passover 2025: A Celebration of Freedom and Tradition

 

Passover, also known as Pesach, is a significant Jewish holiday that commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. In 2025, Passover begins at sundown on Saturday, April 12, and concludes at nightfall on Sunday, April 20.

This eight-day festival is rich in traditions and rituals. It starts with the Seder, a ceremonial meal held on the first two nights (or just the first night in Israel). The Seder includes storytelling, symbolic foods, and the recitation of prayers, all aimed at retelling the story of the Exodus. Throughout the holiday, leavened products are avoided, and matzah, an unleavened bread, is eaten to honor the haste with which the Israelites left Egypt.

Passover is not only a time for reflection and gratitude but also a celebration of freedom and resilience. It serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of a people who overcame adversity to forge a new path.
