Parshat Tzav

Passover is Biblically known as the Festival of Matzot, the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Undoubtedly the major symbol of this symbol-packed holiday is matzah, a crumbly cracker like the poor relative of the pumpernickel. Despite all of the advertisements of the various matzah companies singing the praises of a special taste of their unleavened bread product, the very fact that matzah must be coated with eggs or wrapped in chocolate in order to make it more palatable tells the true story. What then is the real message of the matzah? It seems to me that only when we understand that can we begin to understand the significance of the Festival of Passover.
