Motzi Matzah (Eating the Matzah)

Raise the matzah and recite two blessings: the regular bread blessing and then one specifically mentioning the mitzvah of eating matzah at Passover.

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

We praise God, Spirit of the Universe, who brings bread from the land.

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 commands us to eat matzah.
