Matza

Cultural Context

Matza, or matzah, is a traditional unleavened bread associated with Passover, symbolizing the haste of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. It represents freedom and is a central element in the Passover Seder meal. Today, matza is enjoyed year-round in various forms, including matza ball soup and matza pizza, reflecting its adaptability in modern cuisine.
