Passover begins this week – starting at nightfall on Wednesday, April 5, and concluding the evening of Thursday, April 13. The holiday commemorates the Biblical story of the Jewish people being freed from slavery in Egypt. Seders, hosted the first and second nights of Passover, retell this story, and foods play many roles. Perhaps most notable is unleavened bread, a cracker-like bread the Jewish people took when they fled Egypt. Passover, or Pesach, is also called the “Feast of the Unleavened Bread.” So, to honor the holiday, clear your pantry of yeasty carbs and stock up at these restaurants and markets for Passover dinners.
