The holiday most significant to Judaism happens to be one of the least celebrated worldwide.
Haredi Jews follow an ancient biblical command and harvest wheat with a hand sickle in a field near the central Israeli town of Modi’in. They will store the wheat for almost a year and then use it to grind flour to make unleavened bread for the weeklong Passover holiday. May 24, 2009. Photo by Nati Shohat/Flash90.
