matzot
Flat exodus crackers
Matzot is the Hebrew plural of matzo, the unleavened flatbread eaten during Passover.
Jewish tradition requires eating matzot during the eight-day holiday to commemorate the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt, when bread had no time to rise.
The anglicized plural *matzos* is more common in everyday American usage.
