PITTSBURGH, March 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The popular, annual Passover in the Aisles program which features a variety of Passover-themed activities is returning Sunday, March 21 to three area Giant Eagle Market Districts -- Shadyside Market District and South Hills Market District 10 a.m. to noon and Robinson Market District 1-3 p.m.

Organized by the United Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh's Outreach Initiative, 21 local Jewish organizations and agencies are collaborating on this year's program.

Rhonda Horvitz, United Jewish Federation's community outreach coordinator, said that the goal of the program is to bring the holiday to the community in a fun, interactive way, and to provide a public display of local Jewish flavor. "We're trying to present the holiday to the community in a very public way, and to build excitement around celebrating Passover," she added.

"We will have an area called 'Ask the Rabbi' where local rabbis will answer questions about the holiday." The event will also be celebrated with live music, cooking demonstrations, Passover food sampling, arts and crafts, and a free raffle giveaway and more.

"I hope participants will also learn about the many organizations and agencies our Jewish community has to offer," Horvitz added.

"Giant Eagle deserves a tremendous amount of gratitude for all of their work with this annual event," she said. "The chain is donating all of the matzos given out Sunday. It's all about the community collaborating together," she added. "Each year this event brings together the entire community as everyone works together to celebrate Passover."
