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.[1]

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.[dubiousdiscuss] In the period between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, it is customary for all Jews to only eat bread which is pas yisroel.[2]
