These days in Israel we celebrate Passover (also known as Pesah) which is a major Jewish holiday.
这些日子，在以色列的我们正在庆祝一个非常重要的犹太节日——逾越节(也称为Pesah)。

This holiday is to tell the story of the escape of the Israelites from slavery from ancient Egypt, That jewish people believe and tell was caused by god inflicting ten plagues upon the Egyptians before the Pharaoh would release the Israelite slaves.
这个节日背后的故事，是以色列人从古埃及的奴隶制度中逃脱的时候，犹太人相信并口耳相传一个故事，讲的是上帝在法老释放以色列奴隶之前给埃及人的十次瘟疫。

The last of the plagues was the death of the Egyptian first-born. The Israelites were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a slaughtered spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of the Lord knew to pass over the first-born in these homes, hence the English name of the holiday.
上帝预示埃及长子会在最后一场瘟疫的时候死亡。以色列人于是被指示，要用宰了的春羊羔的血在他们家的门框上做记号，耶和华的灵一看见，就知道要越过这些家里头生的人，因此有了这个节日的英文名字。

During time, This holiday was celebrated through thousands of years with all the expanded family sitting around the table, without getting up, and telling the story of the release from Egypt.This year was the first time in thousands of years that Jewish people couldn’t sit together with their family due to the Covid-19 virus and government curfew.
在过去的几千年里，这个节日的庆祝方式是全家人围坐在桌子旁，不起身，讲述埃及人被释放的故事。而今年，是几千年来犹太人第一次因为病毒和政府宵禁而不能和家人坐在一起。

However, Jewish people found a way, as they all plugged online and celebrated the holiday through the screens, gathering together and keeping the tradition and heritage alive.
然而，犹太人找到了一个办法，他们都通过上网，透过屏幕聚集在一起来庆祝节日，以保持这一节日的传统并给予新的活力。

Covid-19 might prevent us from physically keeping our heritage, but it can’t stop our spirit and soul from doing so, as like the people of China, our heritage was formed within our hearts.
新冠病毒可能会阻止我们在物质上保存我们的遗产，但它不能阻止我们的精神和灵魂，就像中国人民一样，我们的遗产永远保留在我们心中。
