Bread of Affliction

The Bread of Affliction, also known as "Matzah," is an unleavened bread traditionally eaten during Passover to commemorate the Israelites' swift escape from Egypt, which prevented their bread from rising. Its simplicity symbolizes humility and the hardships of slavery, emphasizing the importance of freedom and reliance on divine intervention. The absence of leavening ingredients serves as a reminder of both the historical urgency of their journey and the need for spiritual renewal. This bread connects participants to their history and reflects themes of resilience, liberation, and gratitude.
