Best Answer

YES IT IS A JEWISH MEAL AT PASSOVER

Answer

No, there is no religious significance to matzoh balls. At Passover, the command is no levening in your house. You may have new flour (matzoh), but you can't bake bread because the definition of bread is flour and levening. The combination of matzoh and water yeilds unleavened bread. Matzoh balls are wheat dumplings which are boiled in chicken broth until done. Matzoh balls are made of eggs, oil, and matzoh meal, refrigerated, then boiled. Other than they fullfill the command for no levening in the house, there is no religious significance.

Yes, in the sense that they were invented as a way to have dumpling soup without violating the command (Exodus 12) to not eat leavened foods during Passover.See also the Related Link.

what kind of starch can you eat for passover?

Potato starch is OK for all Jews. Sephardic Jews are OK with rice. Ashkenazic Jews use lots of matzah meal. Coarsely ground meal for some purposes, cake meal (finely ground) for other purposes. And, of course, whole matzah or coarsely crumbled matzah farfel have an important place. Matzah lazagne can be made, substituting matzah for flat noodles between layers (put the matzah in dry, and of course, make it vegetarian because meat cannot be included in foods meals that include any dairy products). Fried matzah is like french toast, but made with broken matzah and egg. Some people make it savory, with onions, others serve it with maple syrup. Both are good.

There is no religious significance of a dog collar for Christians. The dog collar is worn by people who are into rock music, sometimes are into sadism/masochism, or are trying to look "emo."
