MMMMMMmmmmm.......matzah.

Nah, that doesn't work. Although matzah shares many of the major properties of bread, I just can't get excited about eating it. And I suppose that's the point.

You see matzah is also called the bread of affliction. We eat it as a symbolic nod to our ancestors who were slaves to pharoh in Egypt. As the story goes, the exodus from Egypt was so hasty that they didn't have time to wait for the bread to rise. Thus, matzah.

Although Passover celebrates the exodus of our ancestors from Egypt, it is a Jewish tradition at the Passover seder to consider it as though we were personally led out of Egypt. Here's the reasoning for this: if not for the exodus of our ancestors we would not be around today.

So every Passover we eat bitter herbs, dip parsley in saltwater, drip wine for the ten plagues, and point to a lamb's shank to remember the exodus story. And of course, we eat matzah.
