【“逾越节”是犹太教传统节日，源自《圣经·出埃及记》。传说，犹太人在古埃及生活时期，遭到法老的残酷迫害。上帝命令摩西把犹太人带出埃及，但法老不准犹太人离开埃及。为此，上帝决定予以惩罚，杀死埃及家庭的所有长子和头生牲畜。为避免误伤犹太人，上帝吩咐摩西通知所有的犹太人，在自家门框上涂上羊血，上帝见到羊血时便“逾越而过”。法老迫于上帝的威力，只好同意犹太人离开埃及。为了感谢上帝的恩德，犹太人把每年犹太年历尼散月14日起的七天定为“逾越节”，以示纪念。】

Synopsis:

A middle-class Israeli family has a reunion for Passover and find themselves feasting on a smorgasbord of dysfunction as they try to cope with their innumerable problems in this drama. Yona and Michael are hosting the Passover festivities. It is a sadder than usual gathering because one of their sons was recently killed in a military accident. Nathaniel, twin brother of the deceased, creates a stir when he shows up with his new girl friend. His ex-wife Gila bears this well and she and the girl friend become better acquainted. Dorona is the eldest and is constantly plagued by allergies, something that has helped kill the romance in her marriage to Rikki. Shai is anorexic while Dalia is morbidly obese. Meanwhile the bratty son of Nathaniel and Gila creates all sorts of malicious mischief.

Passover is a Jewish holiday which is celebrated in the northern spring. It begins on the 15th day of Nisan (on the Hebrew calendar). Passover commemorates the Exodus and freedom of the Israelites from ancient Egypt. As described in the Book of Exodus, Passover marks the "birth" of the Children of Israel who become the Jewish nation, as the Jews' ancestors were freed from being slaves of Pharaoh and allowed to become followers of God instead.

The two names for the holiday are a coalescence of two related celebrations. The name Passover (Pesakh, meaning "skipping" or passing over) derives from the night of the Tenth Plague, when the Angel of Death saw the blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts of the houses of Israel and "skipped over" them and did not kill their firstborn. The meal of the Passover Seder commemorates this event. The name Feast of Unleavened Bread (Khag Ha'Matsot) refers to the weeklong period when leaven has been removed, and unleavened bread or matsa ("flatbread") is eaten.

Together with Sukkot ("Tabernacles") and Shavuot ("Pentecost"), Passover is one of the three pilgrim festivals (Shloshet Ha'Regalim) during which the entire Jewish populace made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, at the time when the Temple in Jerusalem was standing.
