What Is the Measurement of a K׳zayis Matzah?
Fascinating teshuvos by Hungarian Gedolim
Harav Akiva Klein of Nitra, a disciple of the Ksav Sofer, posed an intriguing question that stimulated responses from gedolei Torah.
The obligation of eating a k׳zayis of matzah – Does a k׳zayis matzah mean that one needs to consume a full k׳zayis of flour and not take in account the water component in the matzah or does a k׳zayis include both the flour and water?
We present you with a collection of responsa from the Maharshag, Pnei Meivin and Daas Sofer regarding this question.
