A man walks in front of a kosher supermarket in the Hasidic Jewish section of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood in New York next to a billboard celebrating the Passover holiday and announcing the unleavened bread known as matzo on April 19, 2022. Some U.S. Jewish families observing the Passover are struggling to pay for matzo, eggs and gefilte fish and worry about how soaring inflation is driving up prices during one of the most important holidays for Jews.
