	Judaism 101: Pesach: Passover
		Matzah is unleavened bread, made simply from flour and water and cooked very quickly.
		Among Ashkenazic Jews, gefilte fish and matzah ball soup are traditionally eaten at the beginning of the meal.
		For example, they say that the three matzahs represent the Trinity, with the broken one representing Jesus on the cross (in Judaism, the three matzahs represent the three Temples, two of which have been destroyed, and the third of which will be built when the moshiach comes).

	The Taste of Matzah
		Matzah, the “bread of poverty,” the “bread of haste” and the “bread of faith,”[13] represents the state of the Jewish people at the moment of the Exodus.
		Matzah is not wine--here is not the keen tang of intellectual inquiry, nor the intoxicating high of passion.
		Matzah hurriedly chewed on an empty stomach is virtually tasteless; but at the meal’s end, especially after a glass or two of wine, it is a feast for the senses.

		The prohibition against advance baking of matzah was expressed most uncompromisingly by the rabbis of Ashkenaz (Germany) in the tenth and eleventh centuries.
		For them, the ban extended even to matzah that was baked on the morning of the fourteenth of Nisan--and even if the leaven had already been completely removed from the household.
		For them, the preparation of the matzah was as inseparable a part of the precept as the act of eating it at the Seder.

	Matzah Ball Soup
		Matzah balls, as an alternative to noodles or dumplings that are made with flour, are served with soup during the Jewish celebration of Passover.
		Very slowly stir in the Matzah meal (if you add a large quantity of the Matzah meal too quickly, it will congeal into a clump which will be difficult to loosen up) and blend in the egg whites.
		If you cook the Matzah balls in water, rather than in chicken soup, when they are thoroughly cooked, put them into the chicken-soup pot and simmer for a little while longer, so that they absorb the flavor of the soup.

	Matzah balls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Matzah balls, also known as knaydlach (pl.) (knaydel, singular) in Yiddish, (also matza balls, matzo balls, or matzoh balls) are a traditional Ashkenazi (East-European Jewish) dumpling made from matzah meal, a flour-like product produced by grinding matzah.
		Matzah balls are most commonly served as a complement to chicken soup, or in the form of "matzah ball soup," which is simply chicken broth served with the dumplings.
		Matzah balls are naturally popular during Passover, during which time flour is replaced with matzah meal in observant Jewish households.

		Since ordinary matzah is guarded, in the manner which we have described, from the time that the wheat is ground, in what way does it differ from the matzah which we refer to as shmurah, guarded.

	The Great Matzah Controversy — Or, Should Matzah be Made by Hand or Machine? - March 28, 2006 - OU.ORG

		Thus, matzah shemurah must be made from grain that is guarded (so that it will not come into contact with water) from the time the wheat is reaped.
		Furthermore, matzah shemurah must be prepared with the intention of fulfilling the mitzvah of achilat matzah.

	The Significance of Matzah
		This concept is also reflected in the Torah's description of matzah as "poor man's bread"; [2] a poor man is humble and free of arrogance.
		There is no question of chametz in matzah ashirah [3] (lit., "rich matzah," made of flour and liquids other than water; e.g., egg matzah); nevertheless, it can not be used to fulfill the mitzvah of eating matzah.
		If possible, the matzos that we send should be round and handmade, and of the kind that are known as shemurah matzah, i.e., those which from a very early stage in their preparation have been lovingly guarded against any possibility of leavening.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Holidays: Eating Matzah At the Seder
		Since one is obliged to eat matzah on Passover, it is no surprise that much has been written about matzah, not only when to eat, it but how much must be eaten and who must fulfill this obligation.
		Even according to Sephardic (Mediterranean) practice, however, one cannot fulfill the obligation to eat matzah at seder with "egg matzah." First, the obligation must be fulfilled with real matzah, and real matzah must have the potential to leaven, which egg matzah does not.
		The eating of matzah is a positive commandment (as opposed to not eating hametz, which is a negative commandment) that takes place at a specific time.

		After all, the matzah that is consumed at the seder is intended to fulfil a religious precept, and must be fashioned with the appropriate intention.
		The opponents of automated matzah production feared that this same scenario would now be played out in small Jewish communities, where temporary employment at the matzah bakery frequently provided an important source of supplementary income for poor Jews who needed the money to purchase holiday provisions.

	The Broken Matzah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		For centuries during the Passover seder in Jewish homes, one of three pieces of unleavened bread, matzah, is broken in half, wrapped in a napkin, hidden, and later retrieved to be served as the last morsel of food eaten at the end of the lengthy observance of this ancient Jewish feast.
		This last piece of matzah, called the afikomen, is substituted for the lamb: it even has to be eaten before midnight, just as Moses commanded, "You shall let none of it remain until morning" (Ex.

		Rabbi ZALMAN GROSSBAUM (Chabad-Lubavitch, New Jersey): The matzah, because of its symbolism, is definitely the icon of Passover, and eating it is a biblical obligation.
		And although matzah is very simple -- it is water and flour -- there's extra care taken that until the moment that the water and flour mix in the bakery and they're ready to make the dough, [the water and flour] cannot come in contact with each other at all.
		They say, "Wow, this is my matzah." When they get the chance to bake the matzah and to really experience what it might have been like to be a Jew going out of Egypt way back when, it makes it very meaningful to them.

		Matzah is usually not eaten on the day prior to the start of Passover to enhance the novelty of eating matzah at the appropriate times during the Passover seder, which opens the Passover holiday.
