Passover Mobile-- the flat bread truck

.
"And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever."

- Exodus 12:17

"And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body."
- Matthew 26:26

Wow, Jesus. You taste kinda bland.
Could we get a mesquite-flavored lord?

If a communion wafer reminds anyone of matzah, that makes sense, since the Last Supper took place during Passover.

"Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?"
- Matthew 26:17

Of course, Da Vinci painted bread on the table... yet another mistake of his (the other two: the Vetruvian man actually was wearing a banana hammock and Mona Lisa had six-fingered on her left hand... and killed Inigo Montoya's dad... that bitch).


In America, you folks pay about 75 cents a box. They GIVE away 5 pound boxes at the supermarket.
Ironically, in Israel this is not the case.
$5.75 for a pound of matzah.

I know.

So-- Christians and Jews, connected through stale flatbread.

And yet-- whenever Jews bring in a box of matzah to their places of business, their non-Jewish co-workers go wild.
Why?
Why do non-Jews love matzah so much?

My theory—
Christians have their little Jesus cracker, little sip of wine (we Jews have similar nosh, we just save ours till after services, but tomato-potato).

Christians must see matzah and go, “Damn! Look at the size of that thing. Your god must be HUGE!”
The body of Jesus and all they get is a little saltine?
They’re still paying retail when it comes to religious snack food.

We Jews have the Costco version of the communion wafer.
They have cracker envy, plain and simple.
