Jewish tradition linking date of Passover w/ date of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac?

[japhy]

Subject line says it all. Is there a Jewish tradition which teaches that the day Abraham nearly sacrificed Isaac was the same day, centuries later, that the Passover occurred?
But, according to Jewish tradition, the day of the Passover had more ancient history than this. On this day, God created Adam. On this day, God called Abraham. On this day, God’s angel arrested the hand of Abraham, about to slaughter Isaac." (source)

Book of Jubilies:

Book of Jubilees 17:15-16:

“And it came to pass in the seventh week, in the first year thereof, in the first month in this jubilee, on the twelfth of this month, there were voices in heaven regarding Abraham, that he was faithful in all that He told him, and that he loved the Lord, and that in every affliction he was faithful. And the prince Mastêmâ came and said before God, ‘Behold, Abraham loves Isaac his son, and he delights in him above all things else; bid him offer him as a burnt-offering on the altar, and Thou wilt see if he will do this command, and Thou wilt know if he is faithful in everything wherein Thou dost try [test] him.”

This would be the time of passover. The book of Jubiliees is a non-cannonical ancient jewish writing from before the time of Christ.

I’m sure there is a fuller tradition/teaching somewhere in the Talmud

Passover is a ‘double festival’ - a combination of both the ‘Exodus’ festival and an ancient ‘agricultural’ festival.

You might find this interesting.

That is interesting since Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac is regarded as a type for the Father’s sacrifice of Jesus. There are many parallels in the two events, especially Genesis 22:7-8

7 And Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” And he said, “Here am I, my son.” He said, “Behold, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” 8 Abraham said, “God will provide himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.”
