Motzi Matzah

DIRECTIONS: The Leader holds the 2 unbroken matzot and the broken middle one and we recite the following 2 blessings together:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם הַמּוֹצִיא לֶחֶם מִן הָאָרֶץ.

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, hamotzi lechem min ha-aretz.

Blessed art thou, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who provides sustenance from the earth.

Before eating the matzah, put the bottom matzah back in its place and continue, reciting the following blessing while holding only the top and middle piece of matzah.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ עַל אֲכִילַת מַצָּה.

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al achilat matzah.

Blessed art Thou, Lord our G-d, Ruler of the universe, who has taught us the way of holiness through commandments, commanding us to eat matzah.

DIRECTIONS: Break the top and middle matzot into pieces and distribute them everyone at the table to eat a while reclining to the left.
