"Somerville News Weekly" doesn't understand Jewish holidays

This week's print edition of The Somerville News Weekly, a local alleged newspaper, has Happy Easter & Happy Passover as its main above-the-fold headline. Nobody there bothered to learn that Passover starts a month later than Easter this year, on the evening of April 22.

This is consistent with my experience of celebrating Jewish holidays in Massachusetts in general. I have so much love for Porter Square books for being the one local store (to me, Brookline isn't local) that consistently gets Jewish holiday merch right and has a nice assortment.
