Passover

Oil has to be marked kosher for Passover.

Oils that are fine for all groups:

Olive

Nut (macadamia, almond, walnut, etc)

Cotton Seed

Grape Seed

Kitniyot

Canola

Sunflower Seed

It's a loaf of soft bread, usually containing eggs in addition to the usual familiar
ingredients of bread.

The word is taken from the Hebrew, originally meaning the portion of dough that
was separated and donated in support of the priests of the temple and their families.
With no Holy Temple for roughly the past 1940 years, Jews now separate and burn
a small portion of their dough before baking the rest, in recollection of the commandment
to separate from the dough for the support of the temple and its priests (Cohens).

Kosher pizza is a pizza that contains only Kosher ingredients and is baked according to Jewish law.

You would have to find corn flour that has been certified kosher for Passover. Outside of Israel that is very unlikely as corn belongs to the category of kitniyot and is not eaten by Ashkenazi Jews during Passover.

There are brands of kosher for Passover cranberry sauce. You would have to check the packaging for kashrut certification.

Yes, if necessary. However, it is preferable for Jews to pray in groups (called minyanim).

It is outright prohibited for Ashkenazim (since rice is not permitted). However, it is usually prohibited for Sephardim and Mizrahim as well since Rice-based cereals usually contain other grains in addition to the rice (such as barley, wheat, sorghum, or millet). It is these other grains that would make it prohibited for Sephardim and Mizrahim.

Shabbat Dinner:

1. Challah Bread

2. Matzo Ball Soup

3. Brisket

Jews can't or won't eat meat that has blood in it, they will only eat meat that had fins AND a tail and they will only eat meat that had split hooves and chews their own cud.

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.
