∙ 14y agoJews do not have bread over Passover for many reasons:
- They are becoming closer to G-d.
- When Moses took the Jews out of Egypt, they did not have bread. They had a unleavened that we call today Matzoh (the bread they had wasn't crunchy, it was more like pita).
- To feel more in the spirit. Jews want to feel how B'nai Yisrael felt while leaving Egypt.

∙ 13y agoThere is no scientific reason to why they do so. It is just that G-d told them to do so, and so they follow Him. But later, it has been proven that the kosher diet is a very healthy one, and some people who are not Jewish try to get kosher products

Why on other nights we eat bread but on this night we don't eat bread?
Because when the Jews let Egypt, they left in haste, and as story tells us, they carried their dough on their backs through the desert, where it baked into unleavened bread. So during Passover, we only eat unleavened bread as a reminder of this. The Torah contains a Divine commandment to eat matzo, specifically, on the first night of Passover and to eat only unleavened bread (in practice, matzo) during the entire week of Passover. Hope this helps!

Why is matzo either round or square?
Matzo is either round or square because a long time ago, when Jews were slaves in Egypt, the Pharaoh told them that they could leave, but they must leave quickly because he might change his mind soon. The Jews only took what they could carry, and did not have time to let their bread rise, so it stayed flat, (or square) and became matzo. We eat matzo now as a tradition, and if it wasn't flat or square and would rise, it would be the same as any other bread._________Matzoh was always round until the Manaschewitz company automated the process and started producing square shaped matzoh. It was round because that's the shape it would go into when rolled out.
