Handwritten and Autographed Letter by the Maharshag
Fascinating halachic query and responsum regarding if one fulfills the obligation of eating matzah by consuming precisely the amount of a k’zayis, since a k’zayis of matzah also contains water.
“Since a k’zayis of matzah also contains water, is it necessary to eat more than a k’zayis in order to fulfill the obligation of eating matzah?”
