We mark the start of our meal with the Motzi blessing, perhaps familiar from Shabbat. Because we are using matzah instead of bread, we add a blessing celebrating this Passover holiday.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
הַמּוֹצִיא לֶֽחֶם מִן הָאָֽרֶץ:     

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, 
hamotzi lechem min ha-aretz.

We praise you, Adonai, our God, Ruler of the universe, 
who brings forth bread from the earth.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם
אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתַָיו
וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל אֲכִילַת מַצָּה:    

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam,
asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav 
v’tzivanu al achilat matzah.

We praise you, Adonai, our God, Ruler of the universe, 
who made us holy by commanding us to eat matzah.

Distribute the top and middle matzah for everyone to eat.
