On Pesach we are told to avoid eating any of the 5 grains that are leavened. But if bread and Matzah are made of similar ingredients and baked the same way, why is Matzah allowed while bread is not?

Rav Pincus beautifully answers that it’s about time! As Devarim (16:3) says, it is because G-d took us out of Egypt with hastiness that we eat Matzah. This focus on hastiness is meant to fill our lives with purpose. If we internalize this message of valuing time, we can use that gift of time to improve our character.
