My question is concerning the Jewish Passover and traditions.
Someone told be that durning the passover if a memeber of the table, had to leave. That they would take their "napkin and fold it" laying it on the table where they were sitting as a sign to those present they had to leave for a moment, but would be back shortly. Is this ture?
If so, do you know a website where I can receive more information on the subject.

I have been celebrating Passover for my entire life and I have never heard of this...maybe its some sort of formal etiquette that one performs in fancy dinners, but it is not Jewish tradition.
I would consider doing this if I had dinner with the Queen of England.

I know in Judaism that NOT folding your napkin after the meal is a sign of respect. Shows That you felt at home and are satisfied.
Perhaps this site will help.

As a religious practising Jew, I don't think this is true.
