Can you eat on passover if not for how long?

During the Jewish holiday of Passover, there are dietary restrictions and prohibitions in place known as "Kashrut Pesach." The primary restriction during Passover is the prohibition of eating leavened bread or products that contain chametz, such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, and spelt. These grains become prohibited once they come into contact with water and begin to rise or ferment.

The duration of Passover is seven days for most Jewish communities outside of Israel, and eight days in Israel. During this time, individuals are expected to refrain from consuming chametz or products that may contain it. They are encouraged to rid their homes of any chametz products before the holiday begins through a thorough cleaning process known as "bedikat chametz" and selling or burning any remaining chametz.

The consumption of matzah, an unleavened bread, is a central part of Passover. Matzah is made from flour and water without any leavening agents, allowing individuals to comply with the dietary restrictions imposed by Kashrut Pesach.

Throughout the Passover period, observant Jews adhere to these dietary guidelines and consume permissible foods like matzah, meat, fish, eggs, fruits, vegetables, and some processed foods that are certified as kosher for Passover. After the festival concludes, they transition back to their regular diets when Passover ends.
