A Haredi Jew dip cooking utensils in boiling water in a process called Hagalat Kelim (kashering utensils) to remove remains of leaven as they prepare for the Jewish holiday of Pesach (Passover) in Mea Shearim neighborhood, an ultra-Orthodox enclave in West Jerusalem Israel. Jews spend the weeks before Passover in a flurry of thorough housecleaning, to remove every morsel of leavened foods that are forbidden on the Jewish holiday of Passover.
