Ultra-Orthodox Jews collect water from a mountain spring during sunset near Beit Horon settlement in the West Bank on April 5, 2012, to be used in baking the unleavened bread, known as matzoth, during the Maim Shelanu (Rested Water) ceremony. Religious Jews throughout the world eat matzoth during the eight-day Pesach holiday (Passover), which begins tomorrow the April 6, with the sunset to commemorate the Israelis' exodus from Egypt some 3,500 years ago and commemorate their ancestors' plight by refraining from eating leavened food products.
