Passover commemorates the flight of Jews from Ancient Egypt as described in Exodus.

Costin, it’s just a name for the more radical orthodox jews, it’s not just saying this particular boy is ultra.. I’ve seen many articles talk about people from Mea Shearim as ‘ultra orthodox’.. gives a better sense of how they live and learn differently from everyone else.
