Passover
Passover is not only the first of the three major Jewish festivals, but the foundation and root of all of them. The Exodus from Egypt prepared the Jewish people for receiving the Torah on Shavuot. Sukkot, too, is connected to Passover, in that it commemorates the booths (sukkot) that the Children of Israel inhabited in the wilderness.
The main significance of Passover is that it is "the season of our freedom," the time when the Jewish people went out of slavery and became an independent nation.

One of the central ideas of our reading of the Hagada at the Passover Seder is that "in every generation, we are obligated to view ourselves as if we personally came out of Egypt."
One obvious difficulty in fulfilling this obligation is the simple fact that we did not come out of Egypt, never having been there in the first place.
Furthermore, the Egyptian kingdom dissolved many years ago. Even had our forefathers not been released from Egypt, we would still not be there today!
