In the Passover Seder, the unleavened bread is called The “Bread of Our Affliction.” It is to remind us of how the people of Israel suffered during their slavery in Egypt. They bore painful sorrows in their hearts and heavy burdens on their backs.

At Passover, God was setting things up to introduce Israel to an entirely new future. He was in the process of freeing the Jewish people from 400 years of slavery. He had a plan for them, and He was bringing it about. They eagerly expected Him to unfold His plan and make it their reality.
We are in the midst of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that follows Passover night. For seven days, Jewish people are to eat nothing containing leaven (such as yeast and baking soda). The day before Passover, Jewish people search through the entire house to remove all leaven.
