What does matzot bread symbolise during the passover?

Answer 1

When the Israelites escaped from Egypt, they didn't have time to let the dough for their bread rise before baking it because they would get caught by the pharaoh. We eat matzo to remember this.

Answer 2

During the holiday of Passover eating "chametz", bread and other food that is made with leavened grain is forbidden. Matzo is more than a large cracker, than a bread. It is unleavened, and so it's eaten instead of bread during the holiday.

Passover is a commemoration of the exodus from Egypt. People were fleeing, and there was no time to wait for dough to rise. Maztzo symbolizes redemption and freedom, because the Jews were freed from slavery.

There are religious requirements for how matzah for Passover is made. It must be from flour and water only; Matzos containing eggs, wine, or fruit juice in addition to water is not acceptable for use during Passover. The entire process for making Matzos: to knead, roll, perforate and bake must be 18 minutes, no longer. Again, the speed in which it's made is to remember the how fast the Jews had to leave Egypt, because they were on the run.

Answer 3

It represents the bread the Jews ate while fleeing slavery.

Answer 4

Charoset is a mixture of nuts, fruit and wine. It can be ground to the consistency of a spreadable paste, or it can be a chunky relish. It has a practical and a symbolic purpose. The practical purpose is to mute the bitter herbs when following the commandment to "eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs." These days, the most common bitter herb at a Passover Seder is horseradish, and that is extraordinarily firey stuff. Charoset is a symbol of the mortar used by the Israelite slaves in their forced labor.
