Matza Zu – This Matzah

While reciting the Haggadah at the Seder, the tzaddik Reb Levi Yitzchok of Berdichev, would be filled with excitement and tremendous passion. Reaching the words ‘Matzah zu,’ he would become so caught in dveikus that he would fall from his chair to the floor, overturning the kairah, matzos and wine.

Putting it on, he would say with visible delight, “Ah! Matzah zu…”
