Ultra-Orthodox Hassidic Jews wait to have their cooking utensils dipped into boiling water to remove any traces of leavening in preparation for the upcoming Jewish holiday of Passover, in a Bnei Brak near Tel Aviv March 29, 2007. Passover commemorates the flight of Jews from Ancient Egypt as described in Exodus. According to the account, the Jews did not have time to prepare leavened bread before fleeing to the Promised Land.
