An Ultra-Orthodox Jewish piles up freshly baked Matzoth (unleavened bread) at a bakery in the central Israeli city of Beit Shemesh, on April 11, 2022. - Religious Jews throughout the world eat Matzoth during the eight-day Pesach holiday (Passover), which begins this year on April 15, to commemorate the Israelites' exodus from Egypt some 3,500 years ago as per Jewish belief.According to biblical narrative, due to the haste with which the Jews left the land of Egypt, the bread prepared for the journey did not have time to rise. To commemorate their ancestors' plight, religious Jews do not eat leavened food products throughout Passover. (Photo by MENAHEM KAHANA / AFP) (Photo by MENAHEM KAHANA/AFP via Getty Images)
