Passover Feast Observed Worldwide With Unleavened Matzoh
Jews begin seven days of Passover, abstaining from leavened foods and fermented drinks. The festival recalls the Exodus from Egypt and the birth of the Jewish nation. Matzoh replaces bread, and many keep separate dishes and utensils for Passover. In Israel bread vanishes from stores, though some still buy from Arab bakers in Jaffa, East Jerusalem, or Halfa.
