• Matzo for Passover

  Matzo bread and meal are commonly eaten during Passover, but why?

  The Israelites were slaves of Egypt. They decided to make an exodus from slavery, and as they were gathering all of their belongings to flee, they had to hurry and bake the bread for their journey. The bread had not yet risen before it was baked, so the result was what is known today as matzo—unleavened bread.About.com: Kosher for Passover
