Easter in Washington DC

Looking for some resources for planning and celebrating Easter in the Washington DC area? Whether you’re new to town or just looking for new ideas, the following guide will help you find kosher markets, restaurants serving kosher food, synagogues, and additional resources. The eight-day Passover festival is celebrated in early spring, commemorating the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. Jewish families around the world observe the week-long holiday with two Seders (festive meals where they tell the Passover story) and eat matzo instead of bread throughout the week.
