So you're never going to be able to protect from Chimut.
Rashi and Beitzchavbe is also, you're never going to be able to protect it from Chimut if it's thick.
So if it's a tefach thick, then that's a, well, it doesn't say a tefach, it just says Passover.
Beisul says it's fine, you're allowed to make thick bread on Pesach.
Whoa, we Paschal like Beisul always, right?
So this looks good.
The Gemara says, how thick is thick?
So Rufuna says, thick means a tefach.
So a teffach, that's right, it's about three and a half inches.
The size of your fist with your thumb on top of it is a teffach.
Your thumb lying on top of it, not sticking out.
But that's significant.
Our chalas sometimes aren't even a teffach thick.
So Beisul allows even making that, even making Passover, right?
So the Gemara says,
Rav Yosef calls it, Rav Yosef disagrees, and he holds that, no, you can't learn matzah from lechem hapanim.
Because Imam Rube's reason, Yom Rube Sheinan's reason, lechem hapanim obviously was matzah, by the way.
That's where we get the number, tefah.
Lechem hapanim was matzah.
