Host: Now for the symbolic eating. Matzoh is a symbol of the simple bread of poverty. For one week each year, matzoh becomes the symbol of those days when people had little, reminding us that our lives are much more than the material things we have our own.

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al achilat matzah.

Blessed are You God, Spirit of the universe, who made us holy through obligations, commanding us to eat matzoh.
