Isaac Lieberman, a Mashgiach, or rabbinical supervisor, removes a flawed sheet of unbaked matzo as they travel on the matzo production line at the Manischewitz manufacturing facility on February 4, 2014 in Newark, New Jersey. Under strict rabbinical supervision at all times and in all stages of production, over 1 million sheets of matzo are produced daily during the height of the Passover season. Image by Getty Images

Some Jews love it. Some Jews hate it. But no matter how you feel about it, come Passover, we Jews are biblically commanded to eat it.

Help us settle the great Passover debate: is matzo an amazing food or a true Jewish tragedy?

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
