Show Notes
Jews in New York City are gearing up for Passover, an eight-day holiday marked by the absence of leavened grains. Families in neighborhoods like Crown Heights embark on a meticulous preparation process, switching to holiday-kosher items and thoroughly cleaning their homes to eliminate any traces of chametz. This includes kashering kitchens, sealing cabinets, and symbolically selling chametz through a rabbi. The night before, communities come together to search for hidden bread pieces, which are then burned the next morning. These rituals, while seemingly mundane, hold deep symbolic meaning, representing a shedding of pride and a path to spiritual refinement.
