Afikomen

Everything depends upon

a box of kosher for Passover matzoh.

Generally speaking, you will find

at least six slices of matzoh in a box;

this is the lowest common denominator,

enough for two seders,

because three matzoth per seder

will provide for the custom:

top, middle, and bottom

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

the kohanim, Levites, and Yisrael.

And, why do we break

the middle piece of matzoh?

Because, as Tevye would say,

this is our tradition.
