[Distribute the matzah so that everyone has a piece.]

Leader:

Matzah. It’s flat, it has holes in it, it breaks easily, it crumbles, and it’s nothing creative, yet people who observe Passover eat it at least once every year. Every year we look at Matzah like it’s nothing special. But it represents something more than a large bland cracker. It represents hope. Matzah has a deep lesson to teach us: even though the Matzah in front of us is broken, it still has a beautiful story to tell.

Group:

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, hamotzi lechem min ha-aretz.

We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who brings bread from the land.

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, asher

kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al achilat matzah.

We praise God, Ruler of Everything, who made us holy

through obligations, commanding us to eat matzah.

[All eat the matzah.]
