Passover, an annual Jewish holiday also known as Pesach, is an eight-day celebration remembering the freeing and exodus of the Israelites from Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II. In 2009, Passover begins on April 8 and ends on April 16.

| Children at the SOS Children's Village Arad in Israel |
Passover is celebrated by many SOS children and their SOS families in our villages, particularly in our Israeli villages.
Each year during Passover, the SOS Children's Village Arad in Israel has a symbolic survival hike. The children enjoy the annual hike, and it offers them a great learning opportunity. Last year, the hike took place near the Dead Sea and the ancient fortress of Messada.
The hike culminates with a traditional seder ceremony, which includes a festive dinner and celebrations.
