Pricey Passover

The Friday file: Tonight millions of Jews will celebrate Passover and their exodus from slavery in Egypt 3,500 years ago. Part of the celebration entails placing unleavened bread, bitter herbs, and other items which allude to or are symbolic of the holiday, on a platter. Assuming all American Jews celebrate and share the platter with another celebrant, the platter content will cost $50 million. Freedom isn’t cheap, Jews enjoy eating!
