	Judaism 101: Pesach: Passover
		The day before Pesach is the Fast of the Firstborn, a minor fast for all firstborn males, commemorating the fact that the firstborn Jewish males in Egypt were not killed during the final plague.
		Pesach is Zeman Herutenu, the Time of Our Freedom, and the joy of that time is evident in the music of the season.
		The Christian "last supper" is generally believed to have been a Pesach seder, so many Christians recreate the ritual of the seder, and the haggadahs that they use for this purpose tend to reinterpret the significance of the holiday and its symbols to fit into their Christian theology.

		Pesach is, outside of Israel, an eight day holiday which commemorates when HaShem freed us from slavery in Egypt.
		The Shabbos (Sabbath) before Pesach is called Shabbos HaGadol, The Great Shabbos, because it was on this Shabbos that the Jews in Egypt took the lamb which they were going to eat into their homes.
		On the first two nights of Pesach (or, in Israel, only the first) we are required to perform the Seder.

		However, "Pesach" does connect with the Egyptian word "pesh ", which means to "spread wings over" to protect.

		The deeper meaning of "Pesach" is that the Spirit of G-d was actually hovering over those blood-sprinkled doors, not allowing the destroyer to come in.

		Pesach Sheni teaches us that you can make it up — for it is a mitzvah that was given for those who could not sacrifice their paschal offering on the eve of Pesach.
		Pesach Sheni occurs in the month of Iyar, called the second month, for it is the second level compared to the Exodus.
		Likewise, the lessons drawn from Pesach are enhanced and the humility and submission of Pesach is strengthened by Pesach Sheni, till the person achieves the ability to transform the evil into good on Pesach Sheni, when he sacrifices the Paschal offering while chometz still exists in his house.

	hallel
		According to the first answer, Hallel on the night of Pesach can be viewed as falling under the category of "Hallel said on Yom Tov" - on account of the day itself - while according to the second answer, the Hallel of Pesach night is related to the mitzva of akhilat Pesach and matza.
		The Ri Migash explains that Hallel on Pesach night is not a mitzva; rather, it is an expression of the joy of the person eating the Pesach,(12) and praise and thanksgiving to the Almighty.
		Rav Chaim Brisker(22) held that Hallel should be recited in shul on Pesach night with a berakha, in accordance with the verse in Yeshayahu which indicates that the "Hallel of Yom Tov" should be recited on Pesach night, even though Hallel is normally recited during the day.

		Pesach, known as Passover in English, is a major Jewish spring festival, commemorating the Exodus from Egypt over 3,000 years ago.
		The ritual observance of this holiday centers around a special home service called the seder (meaning "order") and a festive meal; the prohibition of chametz (leaven); and the eating of matzah (an unleavened bread).
		The Pesach seder is the only ritual meal in the Jewish calendar year for which such an order is prescribed, hence its name.
