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.
