Why is unleavened bread used during Passover?

Because when the Jews left Egypt in a hurry, they didn't have time to bake the bread normally, they just quickly cooked it with no yeast, and that was the result. This is to remind us of what they went through, though eating matzo is far from being a penance, only the lack of leavened products for a week (well, I remember those days when I followed that rule!).

Jews eat the Matzah to remember the Exodus, to remember the transition period from slavery to freedom. There is no connection to the mannah eaten in the desert. Most sacrifices in the Temple are also to be served with an offering of matzah. Apr 10 04, 10:11 AM
