Local Jewish stores are open extra late as people stock up on regular food after a week of eating only a special diet consisting of meat, potatoes and wine as nothing with grain in is allowed to be consumed.
Chametz, also Chometz, Ḥametz and other spellings transliterated from Hebrew: khaméts חָמֵץ / חמץ, are leavened foods that are forbidden on the Jewish holiday of Passover. According to Jewish law, Jews may not own, eat or benefit from chametz during Passover
