Yachatz  - Breaking of the middle matzah – why now?

(Something broken reminds us of how things are made of parts. In Mitzrayim each slave was a part of the group called the Israelites. In order for each part to be strong and healthy each Hebrew had to take responsibility for helping other Hebrews. Only with teamwork, each part helping the other parts, could the Hebrews remain hopeful that they would not be slaves forever.)
