ISRAEL-RELIGION-JEWISH-PESACH

Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men knead dough before baking the Matzoth or unleavened bread on March 17, 2013, in Jerusalem. Religious Jews throughout the world eat matzoth during the eight-day Pesach holiday (Passover), which begins the March 25, with the sunset to commemorate the Israelis’ exodus from Egypt some 3,500 years ago and commemorate their ancestors’ plight by refraining from eating leavened food products.
