MOTZI - A Blessing for Bread

We are now coming to the Seder meal.

As we ordinarily begin with the breaking of bread, we begin tonight with the breaking of matzoh. We recite two blessings; first the regular blessing for bread, then a special one for matzoh.

The upper and middle piece of the three matzot are broken and distributed among the group as we recite together 

ALL: We praise You, God, who brings forth bread from the earth.

MATZOH - A Special Blessing for Matzoh

We praise You, God, who hallows our lives with commandments, and enjoins us to partake in eating matzoh.

Each participant eats a portion of the two matzot
