(6 Apr 2017) STORYLINE:
Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem were preparing for the week-long Passover holidayon Thursday.
In a religious neighbourhood in Jerusalem, people brought their cutlery, pots and pans to be sterilised.
Dishes were immersed into boiling water to clean any traces of leavened products.
And in Ramat-Gan's safari, near Tel Aviv, even the gorillas keep kosher for Passover.
Gorillas and other animals are usually given bread to check their vitality, but since the zookeepers and handlers cannot touch any leavened products during the week-long holiday that marks the biblical Jewish exodus from Egypt, they are also fed matzo, the unleavened cracker Jews eat to remember that in their rush to flee slavery, the ancient Israelites' bread did not have time to rise.
