Passover

Passover, or Pesach, is one of the most foundational and beloved festivals in the Jewish calendar, commemorating the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is a powerful celebration of freedom, resilience, and the enduring strength of faith. Central to the holiday is the Seder, a ritual feast where families gather to retell the story of the Exodus using the Haggadah. From the symbolic crunch of matzah (unleavened bread) to the bitter herbs and the four cups of wine, every element of the Seder table is a sensory journey through history, teaching each generation the importance of liberty and hope.

Sending a Passover card is a beautiful way to extend the warmth of the Seder table to those who cannot be there in person. In a festival that places such high value on storytelling and “passing it on” to the next generation, a physical card serves as a tangible link between families and friends. Whether it features elegant illustrations of spring flowers (marking Chag HaAviv, the Festival of Spring), traditional Seder plates, or modern artistic interpretations of the Exodus, a card carries a heartfelt wish for a “Kosher and Joyful Passover.” It’s a thoughtful gesture that acknowledges the deep spiritual and historical significance of the week.

In our fast-paced digital world, a handwritten Passover greeting offers a moment of genuine connection. It honors the tradition of hospitality—opening one’s heart, if not one’s home, to others. Receiving a card in the post during this eight-day celebration brings a sense of “Shalom” and communal belonging to the recipient’s mantlepiece.
