MOTZI-MATZAH: We bless our food with "clean" hands
Take the three matzot - the broken piece between the two whole ones – and hold them in your hand and recite the following blessing:
Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, hamotzi lechem min ha-aretz.
Blessed are you, Adonai, our God, King of the universe, who brings bread from the earth.
Before eating the matzah, put the bottom matzah back in its place and continue, reciting the following blessing while holding only the top and middle piece of matzah.
Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al achilat matzah.
Blessed are you, Adonai, our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments, and commanded us to eat matzah.
Break the top and middle matzot into pieces and distribute them to everyone at the table to eat while reclining to the left. As the Redeemed of the Lord, we now eat as royalty, while reclining.
