Please take the three pieces of matzah and break the middle piece into two. The larger piece is now the afikoman which should be  wraped and set aside. The afikomen represents the sacrificial lamb in the Passover story, so we will eat it later.

.הָא לַחְמָא עַנְיָא דִּי אֲכָלוּ אַבְהָתָנָא בְאַרְעָא דְמִצְרָיִם. כָּל דִכְפִין יֵיתֵי וְיֵיכֹל, כָּל דִצְרִיךְ יֵיתֵי וְיִפְסַח
Ha laḥma anya di aḥalu avhatana b-ara demitzrayim. Kol diḥfin yeitei veyeḥol. Kol ditzriḥ yeitei veyifsaḥ. 
This is the bread of destitution that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Anyone who is famished should come and eat, anyone who is in need should join us.

Breaking the matzah symbolises the broken spirit as sometime we need to break aspects of ourselves in order to rebuild ourselves into something bigger, better and stronger

Does anyone have a bad habit that they would like to break?
