When do they eat the Passover meal?

Answer 1

The main restrictions are on what you can eat. Below are the restrictions on when you can eat:

• The prohibition to eat "Chametz" (bread, pasta, etc.) begins in the mid-morning before Passover, but according to Jewish custom we also don't eat Matza that day until the Seder. Therefore between breakfast and a very late dinner, we're avoiding both Chametz and Matza, but we can freely eat meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables, etc., as long as we preserve a good appetite for the Seder.
• On Seder night there is a long portion where we have a full table set in front of us, whet our appetites with some wine and an extremely small appetizer, and then read the "Haggadah" and discuss the holiday's significance. During that time it is customary to give nuts or other treats to the children.
• After dinner we conclude with a piece of Matza called the Afikoman. After that, other than the last 2 cups of wine, it is preferable not to eat or drink again until the morning so that the taste of the Afikoman remains on our tongues.
• During the rest of Passover we can eat whenever we want, but only "Kosher for Passover" products.
• When Passover ends, the nearest Kosher Dunkin' Donuts generally quickly runs out of donuts. But you can eat other things.

Passover has special dietary rules, the most important of which is the prohibition on eating leavened bread or derivatives of this (chametz, Exodus 12:15). Utensils used in preparing and serving chametz are also forbidden on Passover unless they have been cleansed (kashering). Observant Jews often have separate sets of meat and dairy utensils for Passover use only.

Certain foods must have been prepared in whole or in part by Jews, including grape wine, certain cooked foods (bishul akum)[24] cheese (gvinat akum,) and according to some also butter (chem'at akum); according to many, certain dairy products (Hebrew: חלב ישראל chalav Yisrael "milk of Israel"); according to some, bread (under certain circumstances) (Pat Yisrael).

A cocoon found among barleycorns in a commercially available bag of barley. Foods such as seeds, nuts and vegetables need to be checked to avoid eating insects.Biblical rules control the use of agriculture produce. For produce grown in the Land of Israel a modified version of the biblical tithes must be applied, including Terumat HaMaaser, Maaser Rishon, Maaser Sheni, and Maaser Ani (untithed produce is called tevel); the fruit of the first three years of a tree's growth or replanting are forbidden for eating or any other use as orlah;[28] produce grown in the Land of Israel on the seventh year is Shviit, and unless managed carefully is forbidden as a violation of the Shmita (Sabbatical Year).

Some rules of kashrut are not universally observed: the rule against eating chadash (new grain) before the 16th of the month Nisan; many hold that this rule does not apply outside the Land of Israel. In addition, some groups follow various eating restrictions on Passover that go beyond the rules of kashrut, such as the eating of gebrochts or garlic.

Answer 3

Bread is not eaten for the entire duration of Passover. This year, Passover begins on March 30, 2010.

Bread is not eaten for 12 hours before Passover to sundown on the last day of passover. passover lasts for 8 days. It starts on the 14th of the first month of the Hebrew year according to the Bible (Torah). The month is called Nisan. (said as knee-sun)

You are only permitted to eat the unleavened bread, which is like flat bread (called Matzah) . It is also yummy with chocolate spread, cream cheese and as matzah Pizza :)

Answer 4

As soon as Passover ends - when 3 stars appear in the sky after the 7th day in Israel and the 8th day in the Diaspora - you are allowed to eat bread.

However, bread that was owned by Jews during Passover is eternally forbidden.

So you either buy bread from a non-Jew (make sure it's Kosher) or bake it after Passover from flour that was not Chametz or from flour that you bought from a non-Jew.
