ISRAEL JERUSALEM PASSAH
epa01307576 Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jews collect spring water during the sunset for the traditional Jewish rite of 'Mayim Shelanu' in the Jerusalem mountains, Israel, 7 April 2008. Using this water they prepare matza, traditional unleavened bread eaten, for the upcoming Jewish holiday of Passover. 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 in the Sinai desert where they stay 40 years before they arrived to the Promised Land. EPA/PAVEL WOLBERG
