DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - MARCH 26: Keeping with Orthodox Jewish Passover tradition, Rabbi Levi Duchman sells the Chametz, the Hebrew name for stored away leaven bread of the Jewish community, to Sulaiman Qasim Al-Hammadi in a symbolic ceremony at The Address Hotel Mariana on March 26, 2021 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Al-Hammadi is the owner of the first Kosher slaughterhouse in the UAE. This is the first year UAE’s Jewish residents and visitors can celebrate Passover openly since the signing of the US-brokered Abraham Accords, with large communal Passover Seders with certified Kosher food. It’s another historic first for the UAE’s growing Jewish community. Since the signing of the Abraham Accords in September 2020, which normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and four Muslim-majority countries—Morocco, Sudan, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates—the pace of change for Jewish life in the UAE has been dramatic. The Emirates have seen a boom in Jewish and Israeli tourism and the local Jewish community, which has been quietly emerging for years, is thriving. (Photo by Andrea DiCenzo/Getty Images)
