Blessing for Matzah

We eat matzah to remind us that when Pharaoh let us go we had to hurry, and there wasn't enough time to finish making the bread. So, we took the dough that wasn't ready yet. 

Take a piece of matzah and say the blessing.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה', אֱ-לֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, הַמּוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן הָאָרֶץ

Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu, melekh ha'olam, hamotzi lehem min ha'aretz.

Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the universe, Who brings forth bread from the earth.

Matzah with cream cheese, matzah with jelly, matzah with eggs, matzah with butter. There are lots of ways of eating matzah, but during our seder, it's charoset we'll eat to remind us of the bricks the slaves were forced to make.

Take a piece of matzah and add some charoset. Bon' apetit!
