Matzah gives me terrible heartburn. I Ihave hardly had any this Passover. What's a girl to do Reply

After ceremony what is the proper means of disposal of matzah if not eaten Reply

I have leftover passover matzoh from several years ago, in a ziplock bag. I am not Jewish. What is the proper way I should dispose of them? Reply

If I eat matzot during the year, is there prohibition against eating it together with leaven? If so, how much time should pass between the two? Reply

Can I have whole left over matza for this Shabbat since there is no challah in he house? Reply

leftover matzah The matzah meal idea is good, as is using it whenever you are running low on complete loaves of challah at seudat shlisheet (the third meal of Shabbat). My family really likes matzah (one kid prefers it to actual bread!).

Another good idea: emergency rations! Matzah works great in earthquake packs or stashed in the trunk of the car in case you are stuck somewhere without easily accessible kosher food.

The buggy matzah problem someone mentioned has a lot to do how the matzah is stored. Matzah without sealed plastic (like most handmade shmurah) allows easy access to insects, but sealed boxes last and stay fresh. Ironically, stale matzah actually loses crispness! If you had matzah in an unsealed pack, just stick it in one of those jumbo ziplocs. Reply

What to do with left over matzah? While I am not a rabbi, I respectfully disagree with the advice to put away matzah in a clean dry place and eat it next year for two reasons: (1) the matzah could inadvertently become chametz, and (2) I was taught that it is a mitzvah to eat matzah baked especially for the "new year" of Nissan. As to (1), I suppose the matzah could be used next year, if not for Pesach. If I am wrong about these, please accept my apologies. Reply

matza meal! If you have leftover matza, you can make it into matza meal! all you need is a blender or a grinding machine. A blender works fine though.
Of course you put aside some for Pesach sheni but if you have a lot left then make it into matza meal. Reply

Matza on Shabbos I once heard that the Rebbe would eat Matza each Shabbos Reply

Matzah - Food for the Soul Dear Friend

Passover is a wonderful time of year and "matzah" sounds delicious. I believe "Passover" is celebrated at about the same time of year as the Christian "Easter". I much prefer the Jewish celebrations, as I am a supporter of Israel and all Jewish customs and traditions are very special and close to my heart. I hope to come to Israel in the near future and would like to share with my Jewish brothers and sisters, in their sacred ceremonies and traditions. I can't wait!

dont save it for a whole year! No matza is not good if you keep it a whole year. We bought matza once, by mistake, that was from the year before and it was actually full of stringy bugs. It was disgusting and we had to throw out about 15 pounds of shmura matza!
And another friend of ours bought machine shmura matza that was also from the year before and his also had bugs and had to be thrown out so it is not really recommended to keep it for an entire year.
However, if you really have a lot of matza you can grind it up in a blender and make matza meal and keep it in your fridge. That lasts well. Reply
