Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

He thought Shmura Matzah, you have to be Hoshesh throughout the rest of Pesach that it wasn't

that it might have been Chameitz.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

However, nowadays that wouldn't be a problem at all.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

Because our Shmur Matzah, our non-Shmur Matzah, we're pretty certain is not Chameitz.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

It's just that it wasn't made L'shma.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

It wasn't made L'shei Mitzvot Matzah.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

That's the only thing that it's missing.

So although the Shulchan Aruch says that there's no requirement to eat matzah at any time on Pesach, other than the keziahs that you eat at the seder, the Mishabrura in Simmon, Taf Ayin He, Sivkatan Mem He, and Simmon Taf Reish, Lamed Tes, Sivkatan Chavdal, quotes from the Vilnagon, that although there's no chiyuv to eat matzah at any time other than the night of the seder, there is a chiyuv mitzvah.

of Achillus Matzah throughout all seven days of Pesach.

And that's why many people are mocked that they might as well eat only Shmurah Matzah throughout the rest of the days of Pesach because there's a Qiyam Mitzvah with each Keziah of Matzah that you eat throughout the rest of the days of Pesach.

What about Mashi Matzah?

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

So all handmade Matzah that we sell today is Shmurah Matzah.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

And many machine matzahs are also shmura matzah, but that's questionable to begin with.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

There is a discussion in the post, is it even shy for machine matzah to be shmura?

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

Because if shmura means that the asiyah is l'shma, that it's made, the baking is done l'shma, well, a machine can't do l'shma.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

You can do l'shamah if you're the one that's sticking it in the oven.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

But if it's all done by a machine, so the machine doesn't have the power to make it l'shamah, according to some postkin.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

So that was a big tumult in the postkin.

Ten Minute Halacha
Shemura Matzah

That maybe if you turn on the machine, and when you turn on the machine, you do l'shamah, maybe that's good enough.
