Nut Free, Gluten Free option
Out of all of the Jewish holidays (and there are a lot), Passover is my favorite. I enjoy the family time, the special foods (even though most people dread it!), and the fact that Passover always signals the real beginning of spring to me!
What is Passover?
This holiday celebrates Jewish freedom from slavery under the rule of Pharaoh in ancient Egypt.
Whether you’re Jewish or not, you have probably seen boxes of matzo, a flat unleavened bread, in your supermarket. It is said that the Israelites did not have sufficient time to wait for bread to leaven after Pharaoh declared their freedom. This is why Jews do not consume leavened bread for the eight days of Passover.
Jewish families around the world gather for the seder (meaning: “order”) on Monday and Tuesday evenings. One of my favorite Passover foods, since childhood, is my mom’s Apple Matzo Kugel! Before you go shopping, add these ingredients to your list!!
