Passovers
Spring Jewish holidays
Passovers is the plural of Passover, the Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' liberation from Egyptian slavery.
The plural appears when referring to multiple observances across years: We've spent many Passovers at my grandmother's house.
The holiday involves ritual meals called seders, unleavened bread (matzah), and retelling the Exodus story.
