Why is Passover celebrated 7 days in Israel and 8 days outside of Israel?
Actually, Passover was established as a 7 day festival. In fact, Passover is still celebrated as a 7 day festival in the land of Israel. However, in the Diaspora, the festival is 8 days. The reason for this is that when the new moon was originally sanctified in Jerusalem, the messengers couldn't get to the Jews living in the diaspora in time in order to let them know when the festival was to begin. As such, Jews in the diaspora kept an extra day because of the doubt. Now, even though there is a fixed calendar, this tradition continues and the festival is 7 days in Israel and 8 days in the diaspora. The first day of Passover (first two in the diaspora) is considered a holy day (Yom Tov). On the first day the Jews left Egypt. The seventh day (and the 8th day in the diaspora) is also considered a holy day. On the seventh day the miracle of splitting the sea occurred. The days in between are the intermediate days of the festival.

Why observe the bitten patient for 14 days for indication of rabies?
You never ever observe the patient for indication of rabies. You will like to observe the dog. If the dog is healthy for eight days, there is no problem to the patient. In my practice I have been observing the dog for ten days. That is over protective response. It looks that newer generation watch the dog for 14 days. Even if the animal dies of proven rabies after ten days, the patient is supposed to be free of rabies. Literature says of 8 days only.
