Food.  Hopefully kosher food, but that depends on how kosher the Jewish person in question happens to be.\n\nFor those who keep kosher all fresh fruits and vegetables are kosher (unless contaminated by bugs).  Fish is kosher if it has both scales and fins.  Meat from properly kosher killed and inspected beef, chicken, turkey, etc is all acceptable.  \n\nPrepared, boxed and canned food will carry a kosher mark on the package if it is kosher.

This is the right category to ask seeing as there are certain dietary restrictions that both Jews and Muslims MUST adhere to.  Anything from a pig is forbidden including anything made from pig leather.  They can't even keep one of those little Vietnamese Pot Bellied pigs as a pet.

of land animals, those which do not BOTH chew the cud and have a true split hoof are unclean.\n\nOf sea animals, those which do not BOTH have fins and scales are unclean.\n\nTherefore, here are some other examples:\nall shellfish (crabs, lobsters, clams, oysters,etc)\ncertain other fish, such as catfish (they don't have scales)\nrabbits,\ndogs,\ncats,\nhorses,\nsnakes,\nalligators,\n\nOf birds....The Bible just gives a long list of birds by name.  However, most or many of these birds are not identifiable today.  Therefore, Jews only eat those birds which they have a tradition of knowing that they are clean.  For example, chicken and turkey are known to be clean.  (In fact Israel is the place where people eat the most turkey per capita).\n\nAny bird for which there is not a known tradition to eat it, is not eaten.\n\n**Special note on locusts:\nA certain type of locust is kosher.  However, most Jews forgot which locusts were kosher and which were unclean, and therefore, they are not permitted to eat them at all, because the tradition was lost.  However, interestingly, there are Jews who lived in Yemen for many years who DID retain the tradition about which locusts were kosher.  And therefore, it is permissible for those Yemenite Jews to eat the clean locust.  (it is determined by a mark on the abdomen that looks like the Hebrew letter chet).

Fish and dairy doesn't have any issues for health that I am aware of.\n\nRed meat and dairy does cause some issues.  The iron in the meat and the calcium in the dairy tend to bind together.  So you don't get the benifit of either.  So you would tend to have lower bone density and have iron poor blood if you did this often.  (Naturally the kosher keeping Jewish community doesn't do this.)

Kosher (kashrut or kashruth) is the name of Jewish dietary laws. These set of laws regulate what a Jewish person can and cannot eat on certain days. For example, on some days you cannot eat meat along with milk. In English as slang, it generally means legitimate, acceptable, permissible, genuine or authentic.

Passover (Hebrew: פסח; transliterated as Pesach or Pesah), also called חג המצות (Chag HaMatzot - Festival of Matzot) is a Jewish holiday which is celebrated in the spring. It begins on the 15th day of Nisan (on the Hebrew calendar), which falls between March 15-April 30. Passover commemorates the Exodus and freedom of the Israelites from ancient Egypt. As described in the Book of Exodus, Passover marks the "birth" of the Jewish nation, as the Jews' ancestors were freed from being slaves of Pharaoh and allowed to become servants of God instead.\n\nTogether with Sukkot ("Tabernacles") and Shavuot ("Pentecost"), Passover is one of the three pilgrim festivals (Shalosh Regalim) during which the entire Jewish populace made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, at the time when the Temple in Jerusalem was standing.\n\nIn modern Israel, Passover is a 7-day holiday, with the first and last days celebrated as a full festival (involving abstention from work, special prayer services and holiday meals). In the Jewish diaspora outside Israel, the holiday is traditionally celebrated for 8 days, with the first two days and last two days celebrated as full festivals. The intervening days are known as Chol HaMoed (festival weekdays).\n\nThe primary symbol of Passover is the matzo, a flat, unleavened "bread" which recalls the hurriedly-baked bread that the Israelites ate after their hasty departure from Egypt. According to Halakha, matzo may be made from flour derived from five types of grain: five grains: wheat, barley, rye, oats, spelt. The dough for matzo is made when flour is added to water only, which has not been allowed to rise for more than 18–22 minutes prior to baking.\n\nMany Jews observe the positive Torah commandment of eating matzo on the first night of Passover at the Passover Seder, as well as the Torah prohibition against eating or owning Chametz which includes any leavened products — such as bread, cake, cookies, beer, whisky or pasta (or anything whose dough has been mixed with a leavening agent or which has been left to rise more than 18 minutes) — for the duration of the holiday.

It is one of G-d's commandments to the Jewish people only. People have found practical (health) reasons to show this is beneficial. But actually, this is not the reason. The reason is that G-d wanted to take eating and food into the realm of holiness - to elevate this basic appetite (physical) and make it holy in the real world. Many of G-d's laws have this purpose - to take basic needs and appetites, and transform them, elevate them, in order to have spiritual holiness in our lives.

They follow a set of dietary rules called "The Word of Wisdom" that one of the Founders of the Religion wrote, I think Joseph Smith.\n\nMeat in moderation, no booze, no tobacco, no caffeine - actually good common sense and healthy too.

Yes. I am jewish and I celebrate passover. I may not wear a yamakah on my head every day, but I am not eating break this whole week. The problem with outsiders is that don't understand or know that are different types of jews due to their region (sephardics, oshkanazi, hasidics, etc)\n\nlike in my coulture (and family traditions) we will not eat bread of any kind and we will go to temple only on the first day.

Jews are only allowed to make sacrifices at the temple in Jerusalem. Since there is no temple at this time, they do not sacrifice.
