Passover is described in the Torah as a festival of remembrance, a holiday marked by the commandment to eat a sacrificed lamb with unleavened bread. This chapter explores the various ways that these biblical injunctions have been enacted and reimagined by Jews historically, as well as in contemporary North America.
