Passover
Today is Passover which is a good holiday. It celebrates the Jews leaving slavery in Egypt over a feast with the retelling of the story, lots of symbolism represented by different foods and lots of wine. The story goes that leaving Egypt there wasn't time for the bread to rise so in solidarity with the ancestors many stores in Jerusalem do not sell bread/yeast products during this week. Making the supermarkets look a little like a construction site or a haunted house with the lights on.
