Editing Matzah (section)

== Types of Matzah ==

=== Matzah Shemurah ===
Matzah shemurah (guarded matzah) refers to mehudar (enhanced) matzot baked from flour that has been specially guarded from contact with water from the time of harvesting.

Although there are different levels of "matzah shemurah," today it is customary to call "matzah shemurah" only matzot that have been guarded from contact with water from the time the wheat was harvested.

=== Machine Matzah ===
Machine matzah refers to matzah whose production stages were done by machine. In many Jewish communities, these matzot are forbidden due to various concerns (such as the potential leavening that occurs to the dough immediately after contact with the machine, and more). This is also the ruling of our Rebbes.

=== Gebrochts ===
Matzah that comes in contact with water is called "matzah shruyah" (soaked matzah), and people are careful not to eat it out of concern that flour remaining on the matzah that was not baked during the baking process could become chametz when it comes in contact with water.

In Chabad Chassidut, they are extremely careful not to eat gebrochts, except on the last day of Passover when they specifically make a point to eat gebrochts.
