hearing
As you sit on the stone and are lulled by the gentle dripping of water, it seems as if you can hear the stifled laughter of Jewish women during a purifying bath as they welcome a young girl who has just become a woman.
taste
Unleavened bread, i.e. bread with no yeast, is a type of bread prepared with grain flour and water, like all other bread, but without the fermentation process.
bread is used as a ritual food during Passover, in memory of the Jew’s hasty escape from Egypt. It is said that during their escape the Jews had no time to let their bread rise before baking it.
smell
When taking Via della Giudecca, the first scent to hit you would be freshly baked bread and biscuits. The street was full of bakeries and ovens, run by entire dynasties of bakers!
