2. Beit Yosef – Don’t intentionally try to keep one’s hands clean.

3. Biur Halacha – Even if they are clean, one still washes but without a beracha.

Motzee-Matza

1. Gemara – It is a dispute whether the obligation is from the Torah or a rabbinic one.
2. Rambam – The halacha is that it is a Torah obligation.

3. Rashi – Two whole matzot are needed for lechem mishneh aside from the broken
one. This position is accepted as halacha.

4. Rambam – The broken matza counts as one of the two for lechem mishneh.
5. Rosh – One must eat a kezayit from each matza.
6. Mishna Berura – One has fulfilled the obligation if one ate only one kezayit.
7. Shulchan Aruch – The halacha is in accordance with the opinions that a kezayit is
half the size of an egg.
8. Most poskim – One measures the kezayit by volume.

9. Kaf Hachaim – Can measure the size of a kezayit by weight.

Matza Shemura

1. Gemara – There is an obligation to guard the matza.

2. Rambam – Guarding means to guard it from rising.
3. Rashi – Guarding it means guarding for the purpose of using for the mitzva of
matza.
4. Mishna Berura – Lechatchila we are stringent for the opinion of Rashi.
5. Shulchan Aruch – Ideally it must be guarded from the time of harvesting, and
at least from the time of grinding; today’s shemura matza is from the time of
harvesting.
6. Rambam – One should eat such matza all of Pesach.
7. Peninei Halacha/other opinions – There is no obligation to eat shemura matza
during the rest of Pesach.
8. Avnei Nezer – One may not use machine matza on Pesach.

9. Mikraei Kodesh – Most poskim today allow using machine matza, though many
recommend using hand matza for the Seder if possible.
