I'm not really Jewish but I've heard that on Passover it's a religious service called a Seder where the families gather around and drink four cups of wine, eating matza and partaking of symbolic foods placed on the Passover Seder Plate. I also googled the Seder plate and it turned out that it's a plate that contains 6 symbolic foods ..
Many modern Jews include an orange on the seder plate. The orange represents the fruitfulness for all Jews when all marginalized peoples are included, particularly gay men and lesbians.
During the holiday of Passover, all leavened food products and products made from the forbidden grains are not eaten. Additionally, Ashkenazi Jews have a category of food called 'kitniyot' which are allowed items but aren't eaten because they could be confused with foods that aren't allowed.
In principle, anything that does not contain leavening. Such foods as bread, crackers, cake or cereals are not eaten. We eat fruit, vegetables, kosher meat and fish, and kosher dairy. Matzoh takes the place of bread.
Ashkenazim (Jews of European descent) have a binding custom to avoid legumes, peas and lentils.
In practice, any processed food should have a passover kosher certification.

During Succot, Jews are commanded to live in their succah, a temporary hut or booth that offers poor protection against the weather. Many Jews build succot (the plural) and, at minimum, eat meals in them. The obvious answer to "what do you eat" is something you can cook out on your patio. Get out the grill and grill things! However, many just eat normal meals, cooked indoors and carried outside.
Sukkot means either booths or tabernacles. It's also the name of a holiday in which Jews build a Sukkah (sukkot is plural) ... and depending on your tradition --eat, sit, and/or sleep inside it.
Jews do not fast on Sukkot. In fact, fasting is prohibited since Sukkot is a joyful holiday. Although joy is an aspect in every Jewish holiday, Sukkot was specifically singled out by the Bible as a joyous holiday: Deuteronomy (16: 14-15) says, "you will be altogether joyful."
Yes, the Sukkot are supposed to remind you of the huts in the desert.
Neither. Jews do not have churches. Sukkot is an outdoor holiday and is celebrated in small huts constructed to specific Rabbinic specifications. These huts (or sukkot whence comes the name) can be in the synagogue's back lot or in a homeowner's backyard.
A sukkah is a temporary dwelling that Jews use during the holiday of Sukkot. It must have at least 2 1/2 walls, be at least three feet tall, and be positioned so that all or part of its roof is open to the sky. Many people decorate their sukkahs with streamers and small ornaments. Traditionally, Jews eat meals and sleep in sukkahs during the holiday of Sukkot.
A dwelling place for religious Jews is commonly referred to as a "sukkah." This is a temporary, outdoor structure constructed during the Jewish festival of Sukkot. It serves as a place for Jews to eat, sleep, and spend time during the holiday, symbolizing the temporary dwellings used by the Israelites during their journey in the desert.
Sukkot is a time of thanksgiving for the bounty of nature as the harvest season draws to a close. It is a festive time in which Jews celebrate by building a sukkah, a simple outdoor structure and garnishing it with garlands of fruits and hung vegetables. Foods made with fruits and nuts, particularly if they are native or indigenous to where you live - symbolize the harvest abundance. How lovely.
There are no special sukkot foods, but because the succah is a temporary outdoor living space, some people do enjoy typical outdoor patio cooking. Others just carry food from the kitchen.
1) The Israelites used booths as a form of tent, for the hot months in the wilderness after the Exodus (Leviticus 23:43). 2) Every year, Jews commemorate this by dwelling in arbor-booths (sukkot), as God has commanded them (Leviticus 23:42-43).
Jews who eat kosher will not eat snails since snails are not kosher. However, not all Jews eat according to the laws of kashrut, so some Jews do eat snails.
These three holidays are Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot. Passover falls in the early spring. Falling exactly seven weeks after Passover is Shavuot.It occurs at the time of the late spring harvest. Sukkot mostly falls in the mid-autumn.
On Sukkot, Jews eat all their meals in outdoor arbor-canopied booths (Sukkah) in order to commemorate the Israelites' wanderings in the desert. Some will also sleep in the Sukkah. During the morning prayers on these days, we take the 4 minim consisting of a Lulav (young palm branch), an Etrog (Citrus Medica; citron), three Haddassim (Myrtle branches) and two Aravot (willow branches).
