Quick review of Passover for those who skipped watching The Ten Commandments or The Prince of Egypt as kids: The name comes from when the Jewish slaves in Egypt were “passed over” during a plague killing the eldest sons of each household. There’s more to the holiday, of course, and that’s where local leader Rabbi Gail Swedroe steps in to fill in any post-Ancient Egypt information for the general public. Take your children to BookPeople and learn about the blending of ancient tradition and modern ritual. It promises to be culture-expanding and delightful at the same time! – Cat McCarrey
