There are several mitzvot associated with Passover. At the seder there is the retelling of the story of the Exodus, eating matzah and bitter herbs, drinking four cups of wine and reclining.
And thanks to the Bureau of Jewish Education, there is another mitzvah â one that has been a Passover tradition in Greater Phoenix for more than 30 years.
The annual Passover Food Drive is a collaboration between the BJE and community organizations such as Jewish Family & Childrenâs Service, Ezras Cholim and Jewish Free Loan.
