Jewish festival
Jewish festivals are special days that commemorate important historical events and spiritual themes in Judaism. They often involve prayer, festive meals, rituals, and community gatherings. For example, Passover celebrates the Israelites' escape from slavery in Egypt with a symbolic meal called the Seder. Rosh Hashanah marks the Jewish New Year, emphasizing reflection and renewal. Yom Kippur is a day of atonement and fasting. These festivals foster a sense of identity, tradition, and connect participants to their history and faith. They follow a lunar or solar calendar and are observed with customs that vary across Jewish communities.
