And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten — The Feast of Unleavened Bread immediately follows Passover, extending the festival to seven days. The eating of bread without leaven recalls the haste of departure from Egypt: there was no time for dough to rise. The second generation, born in the wilderness, will observe this festival to maintain connection with their ancestors' liberation.
