matzoth
Flat ritual crackers
Matzoth is a plural of matzo, the unleavened flatbread eaten during Passover.
Jewish tradition requires avoiding leavened bread during the eight-day holiday, commemorating the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt when there was no time for dough to rise.
The singular matzo and plurals matzos, matzot, and matzoth all see use.
