Matzot

Matzot are unleavened flatbreads traditionally eaten during Jewish Passover to commemorate the Israelites' hasty escape from Egypt, which didn't allow time for bread to rise. Made from flour and water baked quickly, they symbolize both the quick journey and humility. Matzot are central to Passover rituals, serving as a reminder of freedom and the hardships faced. They are distinct from regular bread due to their flatness and the absence of leavening agents, emphasizing tradition, memory, and spiritual reflection during the holiday.
