Abstract

Passover is the central liturgical festival of Judaism, celebrating the Israelite deliverance from Egyptian slavery. It reminds Jews of the birth of their nation and God’s solemn covenant with their ancestors. In fact, Passover has traversed religious boundaries, carrying its significance into both mainstream Christian and Latter-day Saint ideology. However, Passover has always been and will always be a primarily Jewish celebration. It describes the Jewish experience, not only several thousand years ago, but in every generation to the present day and beyond. Indeed, a profound understanding of the social, political, historical, spiritual, and experiential significance of Passover will lead the avid student to a greater understanding of Judaism. The present project is dedicated to providing an educational tool that by using current technologies will aid students in gaining such a profound understanding.
