Looking for some resources for planning and celebrating Passover in the Washington DC area? Whether you are new in town or just looking for some fresh ideas, the following guide will help you find kosher markets, restaurants that serve kosher meals, synagogues and additional resources. The eight-day festival of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, commemorating the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt.
