  • Within the duration of Passover, no leavened bread is eaten, therefore Matzo, a flat bread, has become a popular symbol for the holiday. Matzo was light and easy to transport on their long journey out of Egypt, and has since become an important part of Passover celebrations.
  • Meat must not be eaten in combination with dairy. 
  • Fish and eggs are considered neutral.
  • Strictly observant Jews do not work, go to school or carry out any business on the first two and last two days of Passover (first one day and last one day for some branches). This is a requirement of Jewish law; however, only about 10% of the American Jewish population observes this rule strictly. Most American Jews will work through Passover, although many may want to take time off the day before Passover, to prepare for the big family dinner.
