Passover is nearly here, which means millions of observing Jews all over the world will be riding their pantries of all leavened breads and gearing up for a seder — or maybe two.

This year, Passover begins at nightfall on March 30 and ends on April 7. The Jewish holiday is centered around the retelling of the Biblical story of the Jewish people being freed from slavery in Egypt.
