HaMotzi and Matzah
Question
Rabbi Michi, hello.
When reciting HaMotzi over matzah, we eat an olive-sized amount for the blessing of HaMotzi and another olive-sized amount for the commandment of eating matzah. Is it possible to complete the olive-sized amount for the HaMotzi blessing during the meal, and not eat that entire olive-sized amount immediately after the HaMotzi blessing?
Answer
It would seem, logically, that definitely yes.
