# Many poskim permit eating machine [[matzah]] to fulfill the mitzvah of eating [[Matzah]] at the seders, if the [[matzah]] was made with intent to be used for the mitzvah of [[Matzah]]. <ref> Rav Schachter on [http://www.ou.org/torah/article/oukosher_pre-pesach_webcast_5770 OU Pre-Pesach Webcast 5770] between minutes 75:15 and 81:00. In a shiur on [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/774103/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Innovation_and_Halakha:_Machine_vs._Hand_Shmurah_Matzah yutorah.org], Rav Schachter discussed the issues of Machine [[Matzah]] at length. The major that was whether the pressing of the button to start the machine is considered enough of an action of a person to consider the [[matzah]] to be baked lishma. He concluded that it many poskim consider it to be acceptable Shemurah [[Matzah]]. He also quotes Rav Soloveitchik saying that he found machine matzot to be preferable for the mitzvah of eating [[matzah]] at the seder. Haggadah of the Roshei Yeshivah (pg 2) records the practice of Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer to eat machine [[matzah]] for the seder.</ref> | # Many poskim permit eating machine [[matzah]] to fulfill the mitzvah of eating [[Matzah]] at the seders, if the [[matzah]] was made with intent to be used for the mitzvah of [[Matzah]]. <ref> Rav Schachter on [http://www.ou.org/torah/article/oukosher_pre-pesach_webcast_5770 OU Pre-Pesach Webcast 5770] between minutes 75:15 and 81:00.
