As families around the world prepare to gather for Passover—beginning at sundown on April 1 and concluding at nightfall on April 9—Manischewitz, the brand that has helped define Jewish holiday traditions for more than 130 years, is unveiling a lineup of new kosher for Passover offerings designed to bring warmth, ease and delicious inspiration to the seder table.

Passover is a celebration of renewal, remembrance and resilience, honoring the Israelites’ Exodus from Egypt and their journey from slavery to freedom. At the heart of the holiday is the seder, where storytelling, song and symbolic foods like matzo and maror unite generations. During the eight days when chametz is prohibited, food becomes far more than sustenance, it becomes ritual, memory and connection.

For 2026, Manischewitz is honoring these sacred traditions while helping modern families celebrate with creativity and convenience. The brand’s newest kosher for Passover innovations are crafted to deliver authentic flavor, gluten-free options and year-round versatility, bringing timeless comfort into today’s kitchens.

About & contact the publisher
Manischewitz’s journey began in 1888 with a simple box of matzah. Today, the company continues that tradition while adapting to the tastes and dietary needs of the modern consumer. The Manischewitz Brand now offers a diverse product line of 30-plus product categories. The iconic brand was founded in a small bakery built to make Passover matzah in 1888 by Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz. The Manischewitz Brand is now part of New Jersey-based KAYCO, a family-owned company considered America's first name in kosher products.
