During the Jewish Passover festival, the traditional food commonly enjoyed is matzo, an unleavened bread symbolizing the haste of the Exodus from Egypt. Other important foods include charoset, a sweet mixture of fruits and nuts representing mortar used by Jewish slaves, and bitter herbs that signify the bitterness of slavery. This meal, known as the Seder, revolves around storytelling, allowing families to pass down the history and lessons of their heritage.
