Pasha je sedam ili osam dana slavlja, kada je Mojsije vodio Židove iz ropstva u Egiptu - egzodus. Za vrijeme Pashe jedu beskvasni kruh u čast što Židovi nemaju dovoljno vremena da im kruh naraste kad su pobjegli. Praznik slavi slobodu od ropstva i otpornost židovskog naroda. Često je svečano prve noći, kada se održava poseban obrok zvani Seder i klanja se molitva.
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, celebrating the time of Creation, which is believed to be 3761 BCE. The current Hebrew year in 2021 is 5781. Rosh Hashanah is one of the highest holidays. Jewish people traditionally greet each other with "L'shanah tovah", which means "to a good New Year". They attend services at the synagogue, blow a big horn called a Shofar, serve wine, and eat challah bread and apples dipped in honey.
Jom Kipur je „Dan pomirenja”. Smatra se najsvetijim danom u godini uz Rosh Hashanah. Yom Kippur je dan posta, razmišljanja i molitve s mnogim Židovima koji prisustvuju službama u svojim sinagogama. Yom Kippur je dan za razmišljanje o načinu na koji su se ponašali prema drugima, okolini i sebi . Ovo je dan za traženje Božjeg oproštenja za nepravde ili grijehe te za iskupljenje i ciljeve za promjenu u nadolazećoj godini.

Happy Hanukkah!
Purim je svečani blagdan koji se obilježava mladu židovsku ženu po imenu Esther (kraljica Estera) koji su riskirali svoj život da spasi sve Židove u Perziji od smrti u 4. ili 5. stoljeća prije Krista. Purim se slavi davanjem u dobrotvorne svrhe, paradama, smiješnim kostimima, elegantnom haljinom s maskama i maskenbalima sličnim venecijanskom karnevalu.
The “Festival of Lights”, Hanukkah lasts for eight days and commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees defeated the Syrian-Greeks over 2,000 years ago. A miracle occurred where one day of lamp oil lasted for 8 days. While lighting the candles on the menorah in honor of this miracle, blessings and prayers are recited. Traditional Hanukkah foods are fried in oil, like latkes and jam-filled donuts called sufganiyot. Playing dreidel and the exchange of gifts is also common.
