Passover (Pesach) is a sacred Jewish holiday celebrated around the world each spring to commemorate the liberation of the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt. Passover began before sundown on Saturday April 12, 2025, and ends after nightfall on April 20, 2025.

During these eight days, this sacred holiday is celebrated with Seder feasts of traditional and symbolic foods, like matzah (an unleavened bread) and bitter herbs, the re-telling of the Exodus story and prayer. This holiday holds profound significance and a reminder of resilience and hope. It is a time to reflect on the enduring spirit of the Jewish people.

At RRC Polytech, diversity is one of our greatest strengths and that the College is home to thousands of employees and students from all different backgrounds – including those from the Jewish community.

Chag Pesach Sameach (Happy Passover) to all staff, faculty and students who celebrate this holiday. 

May this celebration hold joyous times for you and your families.
