Kosher? Happy Passover: April 9-16

Sheepshead Bites would like to wish our neighbors a happy Passover — and so does Valley National Bank (at 1633 Sheepshead Bay Rd). Actually, they would like to wish us all  not just a happy Passover, but a kosher one, too.

For those of you whose “kosherness” needs a little bolstering, you can read more about it at About.com. You have a couple of days to get rid of all the leaven from your house. The weeklong Judaic celebration starts at sundown on April 9 and lasts through April 16.

For others who always wanted to know more about this holiday, you can call up a Jewish center (too many to list, here), or the Brooklyn Jews organization and I’m sure they can hook you up with one of the many local families who would be glad to host you for the seder.
