For Passover, we do not eat chametz (leavened foods such as bread, pasta, cereal, etc.) To prepare for the holiday, we clean our homes from top to bottom. Some search by candlelight to find every last crumb!

When the Israelites were leaving Egypt, they were in such a rush that they didn't have time for their bread to rise. Instead, they made matzah, unleavened bread. To commemorate the Exodus story, we eat matzah instead of bread during the eight days of Passover.

In Hebrew, the word "seder" means order. Throughout the Passover seder, we use symbolic foods along with rituals to recall and honor the story of Exodus. To prepare, you will need specific holiday gear and foods. These items will be used alongside the Haggadah (a guide) to lead the customary meal.
