Not Kosher for Passover
**Not kosher for Passover.**
L'chaim (לְחַיִּים), the Hebrew/Yiddish toast meaning "to life," is not a food or ingredient—it's a phrase. "Kosher for Passover" applies only to edible items that must avoid chametz (leavened grains like wheat, barley, etc., prohibited during Passover per Exodus 12:15 and Jewish law). A word or expression can't be chametz, so the question doesn't apply; it's neither kosher nor not kosher in that context. If referring to a product named "L'chaim" (e.g., a liqueur), check its specific certification, as many alcohols contain chametz grains.
