Passover

Yes, provided that only kosher ingredients are included in it, and that it's mixed and baked with kosher utensils.

It depends - if you are of Sephardic descent - from Spain, Portugal or North Africa - then yes. If you're from an Ashkenazi background - the rest of Europe - then lentils fall into the category of kitniyot, small things, which have traditionally not been eating during Passover. This tradition stems from the fact that flour can be made from kitniyot, which increases your chances of accidentally consuming chametz or may cause others to believe you are consuming chametz. However, although this tradition has been upheld for many centuries and is supported by most rabbis, it is not based on the Torah and as such many Jews do eat kitniyot during Passover - not least of all because so many people are vegetarian or vegan, and kitniyot are an important source of protein.

There are brands of kosher for Passover baking soda but they have to be marked specifically for Passover.

Matza or matzoh is unleavened bread traditionally eaten during the 8-day festival of Passover. Unleavened, means it wasn't allowed to ferment or rise the way loaves of bread normally would. This is because the Jews were given the opportunity to flee from slavery and didn't want to lose any time waiting for the dough to rise (Exodus ch.12).

When the Jews were fleeing from slavery in Egypt, they needed to eat, but didn't have time to wait for the bread to rise so they ate it flat. Matzo reminds Jews of that time in history. (along time ago)

The ritual foods at a Passover seder are Matzah (unleavened bread), Maror (bitter herbs), Karpas (a green vegetable, usually parsley), Beitzah (a roasted, hard boiled egg), Haroset (a mixture of apples, nuts, cinnamon, wine) and Z'roa (a shank bone, usually represented by a turkey neck or a beet). Four cups of wine are traditional as well.

The main course can be almost anything, as long as it complies with Passover dietary laws.

You would just put matzah in a food processor and blend it until it's the consistency of breadcrumbs. It's far easier to just buy it.

Many Jews eat what is called Kosher food; it is much the same as what other people eat, however, they can only eat fish that have fins and scales and land animals that have split hooves and chew the cud (Deuteronomy ch.14). Fowl have other restrictions. Land animals have to be slaughtered in a certain way by a person trained specifically in the correct way; this person is called a 'shochet'.

There are a large number of Jews do not keep kosher, though. They eat the same food other people in their countries of residence do.

Real soy sauce is made from the soy bean which is considered kitniyot. If you were able to find a kosher l'Pesach brand, it's not allowed for Ashkenazim. There are several brands of imitation soy sauce for Pesach.

THE MAROR or "Bitter Herbs" (usually horseradish) is placed in the middle of the Seder dish and symbolises the Jew's' bitter suffering under the Egyptian yoke. directly below is the chazoreth, another piece of bitter herbs (or radish) commemorating the custom of eating maror sandwiched between two pieces of the matzoh.

Hope i helped! If you didn't understand here is the simple version: symbolises the Jew's' bitter suffering under the Egyptian yoke. :)

The special Jewish food for Passover is "Matza," unleavened bread baked carefully and within 18 minutes.

Jews specifically do NOT eat "chametz" on Passover. Chametz is food that contains wheat that was allowed to rise, such as bread, pasta, etc. "Ashkenazi" Jews (Jews from Europe) also don't eat legumes (rice, corn, beans) on Passover.

Other foods are permissible during Passover, but Jews, even many of those that do not keep Kosher during the rest of the year, are often extra careful during this time to only eat foods marked as "Kosher for Passover," confirming that they are Kosher and do not contain any leaven.

It depends on the brand. However, even brands of real mustard that are certified kosher for Passover are still kitniyot.

Read the label to see if it's "Kosher for Passover"

________

Amongst the rules for what makes a food item kosher for Passover, is a secondary term called 'kitniyot'. Foods that are considered kitniyot include legumes (beans) and are not eaten by Ashkenazi Jews during Passover.

No. They are made from oats, which is one of the "five species" of grains that are traditionally banned for Jews during Passover (Exodus ch.12).

There are "Kosher for Passover" dry cereals similar to Cheerios that are made from matzoh meal, but I've tried them so you don't have to. Stick with scrambled eggs; they're better for you.

60+ years ago, a very young chemist named Isaac Asimov wrote a science fiction story about a powder that would dissolve 1.2 seconds BEFORE you added water; he called it "thiotimoline". Matzoh Cheerios are very much like that.

After his son died in the Tenth Plague (death of the first-born), Pharaoh "expelled" the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus ch.12), essentially granting the demands of Moses.

The dates and length of Jewish festivals are decided according to the complex Hebrew calendar, which involves both lunar and solar measurements taken in Israel. As in the past getting the relevant information from Israel to the farthest reaches of the world would take far longer than today, Jews in other nations added an extra day to the festivals and holidays to ensure they were celebrating the event on the correct day and, over time, this became a tradition.

Today, even though we have very fast worldwide communication networks which would be more than capable of allowing Jews in any country to get the information, festivals are often celebrated for one day more in the Diaspora (Jewish communities outside Israel) than they are in Israel - Passover is one example of this.

Moses parted the waters of the Red Sea so the Jews could cross.

Putting blood on the lintel of the door was a one-time commandment that pertained only to the generation which was brought out of Egypt during the redemption of the Children of Israel from bondage in Egypt. Subsequently, Jews are commanded to sacrifice a lamb at the Temple in Jerusalem on the afternoon before Passover, and to roast the meat of it to eat at the seder. Now that the Temple has been destroyed and not yet rebuilt, the commandment to offer the lamb as a sacrifice cannot be observed. One of the symbolic foods at the seder is a roasted shank bone to remind us of the paschal offering. Lamb itself is NOT eaten bye Ashkenazi Jews at the seder now that the Temple has been destroyed and not yet rebuilt, lest we mistake that lamb for the commanded lamb sacrifice.

Several plagues

Passover is 3325 years old, but our oldest traditions go back another 500 years, to the lifetime of Abraham. The oldest Jewish tradition is 3822 years old; and it retells how the young Abraham questioned the idolatrous indoctrination which was going on all around him.
Still older traditions recount the Creation, the life of Adam, etc.; but those may be viewed as being more of a general tradition than a Jewish one.

On the night of Christ's betrayal and arrest, He and the disciples had not long before finished celebrating the Passover meal at which the sacrament of Holy Communion was instituted by Christ himself.
