Sumy's Jewish community celebrates Passover amid deadly missile strikes

The Jewish community of Sumy, in northeastern Ukraine, was forced to observe Passover under the sound of sirens and the threat of deadly missile attacks.

A nighttime curfew prevented some residents from attending in person, prompting volunteers to deliver special Passover kits—complete with shmura matzah, wine, and other kosher-for-Passover staples—so families could observe the holiday at home.
