‘If there’s no bread let them eat meat’

Israelis who keep kosher for Passover often still try to avoid matzah – the over-sized cracker which is a staple of the holiday – except on Seder night.

While it may be tasty, the dryer than dry flat bread is known to be less than merciful on the intestinal tracts of those who partake…

While there are kosher for Passover buns and other (costly, and not very tasty) alternatives, many Jewish Israelis go on what is a week-long Atkins diet of sorts. Like these people in Jerusalem here:
