Leader: Now we are ready to recite the special blessing over the matzah, which marks the
start of the seven-day festival of unleavened bread (chag ha-matzot), recalling our first
week after the great our deliverance from bondage in Egypt.

Let us all recite the blessing over the matzah together:

The word matzot
(tAcm'), “unleavened
bread,” can be read
as mitzvot (tAcmi),
“commandments,”
which suggests a
connection between
them...

Barukh attah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha’olam

asher kideshanu be’mitzvotav ve’tzivanu al achilat matzah

All Recite: Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the universe, Who sanctified us How much
with his commandments, and commanded us to eat matzah. matzah?
Ke’zayit – the
size of a
[ Please now eat the portion of matzah given to us... ] medium olive.

Note that during his Upper Room Seder with the disciples before he would be crucified,
Yeshua distributed matzah pieces so they could dipped in the dishes on the seder plate:

Reader 1: When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. And as they
were eating, Yeshua said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”

Reader 2: And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another,
“Lord, is it I?”

Reader 1: Yeshua answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me
will betray me.”
Matt. 26:20-25;
Reader 3: Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Rabbi, is it I?”
John 13:36
Yeshua said to him, “You have said so.”

After this, Judas left into the night to betray our Lord and was therefore not at the Seder
when Yeshua later sanctified the matzah (i.e., the Afikoman) and the Third Cup as the
symbols of his body and blood sacrificed for our redemption...
