Woven Matzah Cover
Item Number: PRPES21-RB009
Date Submitted: 03/11/2021
Use this woven and embroidered matzah cover at your Seder table to store the three matzos used during the Seder. These three matzos are used to symbolize the three groupings of Bnei Yisrael; Kohanim, Leviim, and Yisrael. During the seder, we hold all three of them to symbolically unify all of Bnei Yisrael. There is a special mitzvah to tell the story of Yitzias Mitzrayim. We can do this by weaving together the stories of our ancestors and connect them into our own personal narratives. We can personify the strength, unity and heroism of Bnei Yisrael and incorporate these qualities in our everyday lives.
