Paper 3
Unleavened bread eaten during Pesach, recalling the Israelites’ hurried departure from Egypt.
Revise: FestivalsDuring the festival, matzah, unleavened bread, recalls the Israelites leaving so quickly that their bread had no time to rise.
Avoid claiming that all Jews observe festivals identically or that Pesach prohibits all grain: matzah is unleavened bread.
Do not describe Pesach as a ban on all grain: matzah is permitted unleavened bread. The restriction concerns chametz.
