Passover Gift Baskets in Toronto, Montreal & Canada

Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is one of the most popular Jewish holidays. It is an 8-day holiday which celebrates the Jews who fled Egypt after more than 200 years of slavery.

It is a special time for family gatherings and meals called Seders where the story of Passover is retold through the reading of the Haggadah. It tells of how Moses demands the Egyptian Pharaoh to let his people go. With the Pharaoh’s continued refusals, G_d set forth 10 plagues including the slaying of the first born. The Hebrews were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of the Lord (the angel of death) passed over these homes, providing the origin of the name "passover".

Traditional foods are eaten during the seder dinner:

• Unleaved bread called Matzo (When the Pharaoh finally freed the Hebrews, it is said that they left in such a hurry that they could not wait for bread to rise.


• The dipping of a spring vegetable into salt water. The vegetable is a sign of spring, or rebirth, and the salt water represent the tears of the slaves.


• Bitter herbs, as a reminder of the bitterness of slavery.


• A special mixture, called Charoset, which is made of apples, nuts, wine, and cinnamon to represent the mortar that the slaves made their bricks from.


• Drinking four cups of wine or grape juice—a royal drink to celebrate newfound freedom

Happy Purim - Kosher Gift Baskets

Purum is a festival that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people of the ancient Persian Empire from Haman's plot to annihilate them. According to the story, Haman cast lots to determine the day upon which to exterminate the Jews, but his plans were foiled by Esther, his queen.



Morecai, a palace official, cousin and foster parent of Esther, subsequently replaced Haman as the new King. The The Jews were delivered from being the victims of an evil decree against them and were instead allowed by the new King to destroy their enemies, and the day after the battle was designated as a day of feasting and rejoicing.



Purim is characterized by public recitation of the Book of Esther (keriat ha-megilla), giving mutual gifts of food and drink (Mishloach Manot), giving charity to the poor (mattanot la-evyonim), and a celebratory meal (se'udat Purim); other customs include drinking wine, wearing of masks and costumes, and public celebration - and of course, sending one of our delicious Kosher Gift Baskets!
