1st Day of Unleavened Bread

Greetings to each of you,

As far as I have been informed, everyone is well and safe! For that we truly thank God for His protection, His calling and all that He does for each one of us every day!

I received some questions regarding why we keep the Passover a day before the Jews do, which is the day marked on most of the commercially produced calendars these days.
