How do you prepare for Passover?

Answer 1

Before the holiday starts, Jews clean their homes from top to bottom to remove any trace of 'chametz' (leavened bread and anything that has forbidden food items). Once that is done, completely new food that meets the additional requirements for Passover are purchased and prepared.

The first night in Israel and first two nights outside of Israel involve a religious service called a 'Seder' which is held in the home around the dining table. At this service, prayers are recited, symbolic foods are eaten in a specific order, and the story of the exodus from Egypt is read. Partway through the service dinner is eaten. After dinner the religious service is completed.

For the whole holiday (7 days in Israel, 8 days outside of Israel), no leavened products are eaten, this includes pasta, and all other products made from the grains that aren't allowed. Instead, matzah and foods made with matzah by-products are eaten.

Answer 2

You celebrate this holiday by not eating bread, rice, corn, or anything with wheat.You have a big seder and read from a book called the Haggadah. In the meal you sing and retell the story of passover. A very important food for passover is matzoh. The number 4 is very important too: you have 4 glasses of wine, there are 4 questions and much more!

Answer 3

The house is cleaned of all chametz (leavened products). Food that is specifically kosher for Passover is purchased. All dishes, pots and pans, utensils, etc are switched with sets that are used only during Passover. Lots and lots of cooking and baking is done to prepare food that will be eaten during the holiday.

Answer 4

During all the days of Passover, matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten; while leavened foods such as bread, cake, cookies, cereal and pasta are forbidden. Certain prayers are added in the synagogue services, and the Torah is read each day.

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 continuoustradition 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.

Here is the symbolism of the items on the Seder plate:
The bitter herbs (maror) symbolize the harsh slavery which the Israelites suffered in Egypt. Horseradish and/or romaine lettuce are traditionally used for maror.
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, 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.
