Pronunciation: [fˈast ɒvðə fˈɜːstbɔːn] (IPA) 
The fast of the firstborn is a Jewish religious observance that commemorates the tenth plague of Egypt, where the firstborn of every Egyptian household was killed. Historically, it was a one-day fast observed by the firstborn sons of Jewish families. However, there are several synonyms for this practice. For example, the Hebrew term "Ta'anit Bekhorim" or "the fast of the firstborn" is often interchanged with "Erev Pesach," which means "the day before Passover." Other terms used to reference this fast include "Papio" or "Rabi'a al-Awwal," which are Arabic words. Regardless of the term used, this observance is a solemn reminder of the jewish people's history and a way to pay tribute to their ancestors.
