Passover in Israel


Passover in Israel

Another series of strict restrictions come into force during the seven days of Passover, when leavened bread (hametz) ? taken to include any grain product that may have come into contact with moisture and thus started fermenting ? is banned. Some Jews even widen the ban to cover rice and legumes. The main substitute for the bread is matza, the famously dry and tasteless flatbread, and you can even get a matzoburger from McDonalds during Passover.
