Welcome to Friday and our newest AirDrop! This week’s installment invites you to learn about and enjoy Passover and Easter.

As always, much of my favorite experiences are with tasty food and these two holidays have strong food-games. Below we’ve compiled some history and context for each celebration, along with some local Bay Area festivities for this weekend.

Breathe, we’ve got this!

A Joyous Passover Conclusion

Passover is a festival of freedom.

It commemorates the Israelites’ Exodus from Egypt, and their transition from slavery to freedom. The main ritual of Passover is the seder, which occurs on the first two nights of the holiday — a festive meal that involves the re-telling of the Exodus through stories and song and the consumption of ritual foods, including matzah and maror (bitter herbs).

Be a part of the tradition by eating or making some of the food. Matzah, or unleavened bread, is the main food of Passover. (I’m such a fan and matzah and butter!) You can purchase it in numerous stores, or you can make your own. But the holiday has many traditional, popular foods, from haroset (a mixture of fruit, nuts, wine, and cinnamon – pictured above) to my favorite, a homemade matzah ball soup.

Happy Easter

Easter, like Christmas, has accumulated a great many traditions, some of which have little to do with the Christian celebration of the Resurrection but derive from folk customs. The use of painted and decorated Easter eggs was first recorded in the 13th century – the egg symbolizes new life emerging from the eggshell, and from there through the years arose the Easter Bunny or Rabbit, who is said to lay and decorate eggs for children to find. And seriously: don’t forget the Peeps or Cadbury’s Creme Eggs!
