Matzoh

Some say it tastes like cardboard While others think it’s great. The way you feel about it Isn’t worth a big debate. For if your background’s Jewish You’ll consume it for a week, In honor of tradition Or acknowledgement you seek. I like mine spread with butter And a slice of Muenster cheese Or mixed with egg for matzoh* brei, A breakfast sure to please. But when the week is over, Let me make this very clear, I will not taste another bite ‘Til Passover next year! *or matzo, matzah or any other spelling you like!

This is so much in Judaism that I love, Ilene. Passover itself is a wonderful reminder of God's love in sparing those who are marked with the blood of the Lamb. This is a lovely piece. Hugs to you, dear. I wonder if it tastes like communion bread.

I eat Matzah during the year as well as on Passover. I like the flavored Matzah a lot! I wish you and yours a happy holiday even if you are a Yankees fan. B'Shalom Matthew Anish
