About: Pas Yisroel

In Jewish law, Pas Yisroel or Pat Yisrael (Hebrew: פת ישראל lit:"Bread of an Israelite") products are grain-products that were cooked or baked with the participation of an observant Jew. While any bread with kosher ingredients is considered kosher on a basic level, it is considered praiseworthy to fulfill the stricter standard of only eating pas yisroel. In the period between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, it is customary for all Jews to only eat bread which is pas yisroel.
