Passover Movies, TV Episodes 2019: 7 Specials To Stream On Netflix, Hulu

One of the most sacred holidays of the Jewish faith is upon us, and those practicing the religion will be focused on an eight-day celebration—Passover.

This holiday, which honors the story of the Israelites’ departure from ancient Egypt through the help of the prophet Moses, is steeped in traditions. Many are met through a special meal which takes place known as the Seder. However, after the four questions are asked, the Matzah is blessed and the meal is consumed, the celebration can continue—by watching TV specials and movies which honor the story of the holiday and the history behind it.
