April 1 — April Fool’s Day. The origins of this holiday are murky, with many competing theories. Don’t sweat it. Just put sugar in the salt shaker and have some fun. (But not in restaurants, please!)

April 12 — Passover.
With its focus on hope, family, and communal meals, Passover continues a tradition unbroken for centuries, yet its message resonates just as strongly today. Chag Pesach Sameach!
