Pesach (Passover) is important to us since in it we relive the Exodus from Egypt and our birth as a nation, both of which were preparations for receiving the Torah from God.
The highlight of Passover is the Seder meal. This meal is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt (see Exodus chapter 12), and is fully detailed in our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, chapter Arvei Pesachim).
The Seder meal is one of those occasions, like Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, that Jews all over the world, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, observe in common. During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.
During the Seder meal, other traditional foods are eaten in addition to the matzah: bitter herbs, parsley, wine and haroset (see below). Salt water, a roasted egg, and a bit of roasted meat are also on the table.
During all the days of Passover, matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten; while leavened foods such as bread, cake, cookies, cereal and pasta are forbidden. This is a command in commemoration of the Exodus, when the Israelites were in a hurry to leave Egypt and did not spend time waiting for their dough to leaven (to rise). Exodus ch.12. Certain prayers are added in the synagogue services, and the Torah is read each day of Passover.
Here is the symbolism of the items on the Seder table:

• Matzah - this represents the haste in which the Israelites prepared to leave Egypt.
• Wine - the four cups represent the four expressions of redemption in Exodus 6:6-7.
• The bitter herbs (maror) symbolize the harsh slavery which the Israelites suffered in Egypt. Horseradish and/or romaine lettuce are traditionally used for maror.
  
• Salt water (see below).
• Charoset - A sweet mixture representing the mortar used by the Jewish slaves to build the storehouses of Egypt. In Ashkenazi Jewish homes, charoset is traditionally made from chopped nuts, grated apples, cinnamon, and sweet red wine.
  
• Karpas - A vegetable other than bitter herbs, traditionally parsley, which is dipped into salt water at the beginning of the Seder. The dipping of a simple herb into salt water (which represents tears) recalls the pain felt by the Israelite slaves in Egypt.
  
• Beitzah - A hard-boiled egg (which is then burnt on one side), symbolizing the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night. Although both the Pesach sacrifice and the chagigah were meat-offerings, the chagigah is commemorated by an egg, a symbol of mourning.
  
• Z'roa - A roasted lamb or goat shank-bone, chicken wing, or chicken neck; symbolizing the korban Pesach (Pesach sacrifice), which was a lamb that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.

Answer 3

The central preparation is the cleaning of the house to remove any leavening or leavened products, which we may not eat or possess during Passover (Exodus ch.12). Foods that must be removed from the house (or sold to a non-Jew) include bread, cakes, pastries, pastas; and in general, products containing wheat, barley, and others.

Answer 4

They clean the house thoroughly to remove all "chametz" that is the food which may not be eaten during the eight days of passover, which is bread and other cereals: wheat, barley, rye, oats and spelt, and all food which may contain any of those items. they also buy special pasover foods including matzos, which are unleavened bread.

Answer 5

we have to clean the house from top to bottom and rid yourself of chametz, or leavened products. Forbidden foodstuffs include bread, cake, crackers, pasta, beer and whiskey. For devout Jews, pre-Passover cleaning is spring cleaning on steroids as they remove any bread crumbs and specks of dirt from their homes. The food they use is different for what we would have for out tea they use matza for bread they use potato flower instead of wheat flower and for a alcoholic refreshment they have wine or brandy The night before Passover begins, they go through there home with a candle to seek out unnoticed bits of leftover chametz. The next morning, they burn them.

Answer 6

We eat matzos (unleavened bread) instead of bread, as commanded in the Torah (Exodus ch.12).

The highlight of the festival is the Seder meal. This meal, called the Passover (Pesach) Seder, is of great importance in Judaism.

Answer 7

Passover commemorates the Israelites' escape from slavery. It commemorates events which demonstrated that God can and will "interfere" in the events of this world when He so desires.
Passover is one of the major underpinnings of Judaism, as a large number of mitzvot (commands) are related to it or commemorate it.
