The Passover Story
The Passover Story has a whole backstory, with many believing that it started when Joseph was sold by his brothers and sent to Egypt. Eventually Jacob and his family, after finding out Joseph is still alive, come to settle in Egypt. Many believe that it is at this point in the story that the King of Egypt dies and a new King rises.
It is slowly, over a period of time that the Jews become slaves to the Egyptians. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, hears from his magicians that there will be an uprising. This is when he decides to throw the Jewish boys into the River Nile, to try and stop the Jews from rising against him.
Later, Moses is born and after being sent by God, comes to Pharaoh to ask that he let the Jewish People go. Pharaoh says no and so God sent the 10 Plagues. Blood, Frogs, Lice, wild animals, the killing of the animals, boils, hailstones, locusts, darkness and the killing of the firstborns. Only after all the plagues did Pharaoh say that the Jewish People can leave Egypt.
Every year on Passover we remember the story and tell over the story to our children and teach them the history of the Jewish People.
