Matza, or matzah, is unleavened bread traditionally eaten during Passover in Jewish culture. Its significance lies in commemorating the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt, which did not allow time for their bread to rise. Matza symbolizes humility and the fragility of life, reminding Jews of their ancestors' struggles and the importance of freedom. Additionally, it plays a central role in the Passover Seder, where it is used to fulfill the commandment of eating unleavened bread during the holiday.

What is matzo meal for Jews?
Matza meal is matza that has been ground to the consistency of coarse bread crumbs. Matza meal is used in some cooking. On Passover especially, many people bake and cook with matza meal because it is not feasible to bake a cake in 18 minutes. Matza balls have a lot of matza meal in them, as you can imagine. Not all Jews will use matza meal on passover, however. Some Jews do not eat Gebrukts, matza with liquids on it. They are afraid that maybe there is still some flour that didn't get mixed with water and therefor has not been cooked and can still rise, which is forbidden on Passover. For that reason, some Orthodox Jews will not eat matza with spreads on it, and for the same reason will not eat anything baked with matza meal or any other matza by-product.
