Leader: Gamaliel said “whoever does not explain the following three things has not fulfilled the Passover Obligation: namely, the Passover sacrifice, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs.” We do  this to remind ourselves that this is our story– not just that of our ancestors.

Participant: Matzo is the bread of affliction, which the Hebrews took with them as they fled Egypt. Each year, we eat matzo as a reminder that we too, were freed from slavery.
