The Feast of Unleavened Bread The Occasion of our Freedom
Matzo.
Matzoh is unleavened bread. It's like a big water cracker. It is part of the Jewish tradition and is eaten during the Jewish Holiday Passover. Passover is a celebration of the freedom for Jews as slaves of the Egyptians. The theory behind the unleavened bread is that the Jews didn't have time for the bread to rise since they were in a hurry to leave Egypt. It's also symbolic for freedom and redemption and known as the "poor man's bread".
Food historians are of the opinion that leavened bread originated in Egypt, probably less than a millennium before the pyramids were built. Egyptian culture was the first to produce leavened bread, and leavened bread was a symbol of Egyptian culture. This did not mean that unleavened bread disappeared from the Egyptian diet (when Jews - or others - said, "On all nights we eat leavened and unleavened bread," they meant what they said), but leavened bread was preferred. The recognition that leavened bread first emerged in Egypt is essential for understanding the place of bread - leavened and unleavened - on Pesach, as is our understanding that leavened bread did not displace unleavened bread from the diet. The hurried departure of the Israelites from Egypt, described in the Book of Exodus in the Bible, prevented their bread being leavened as usual; the Jews today commemorate this event by eating unleavened bread on special occasions
Another name for the Feast of Unleavened Bread is Passover.

The festival lasts for seven days, during which leavened products are avoided.
