#11) Some Jewish families with roots in
North Africa carry a piece of the
Afikomen with them whenever they
travel. They believe the Afikomen is a

especially when traveling by boat. If the
seas become dangerous, they toss the
piece into the water, saying it will calm
the storm.

#13) Don't be surprised if
you visit the home of a friend and see a
piece of matzah hanging on the wall.
No, it's not newfangled art. Some Jews
simply have the tradition of placing a
piece of matzah on their walls (or per-
haps in the synagogue) as a constant
reminder of the Exodus, as is stated in
Deuteronomy 16:3: "Seven days shall
