While many Christians prepare for Easter with egg hunts and religious services during Holy week, members of the Jewish faith are anticipating the arrival of one of its major observances: Passover. Beginning the evening of April 14, Passover — called Pesach in Hebrew, the historical language of the Jews — commemorates the exodus of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. "The Hebrew name for Egypt actually means ‘constricted place,’" said Rabbi Mitch Cohen of the Shalom b’Harim synagogue in Dahlonega.
