Your guide to pre-ordering 2024 Passover meals in Charlotte for pickup, delivery
Passover is approaching, and it’s time to make meal plans for the Jewish holiday that commemorates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt to freedom.
In 2024, Passover begins before sundown on Monday, April 22, and ends after nightfall on April 30. The Seder feast is held on the first two nights of the holiday, right after nightfall. And it’s customary to avoid leavened foods during the holiday.
