# Someone who is sick and can’t eat so much Matzah can use the Kezayit evaluated according to a third of a KeBaytzah which according to Rav Chaim Noeh is 17.3 cc. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 486:1, Halichot Shlomo (pg 214 note 55) </ref> | # Someone who is sick and can’t eat so much Matzah can use the Kezayit evaluated according to a third of a KeBaytzah which according to Rav Chaim Noeh is 17.3 cc. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 486:1, Halichot Shlomo (pg 214 note 55) </ref> | ||
# Some say that if there’s not enough Matzah in the three Matzahs of the head of house then one should get a piece of the upper matzah and then eat another Kezayit of Matzah. <Ref>Halichot Shlomo 9:40, Sh"t Chazon Ovadyah (pg 370), Haggadah Moadim UZmanim (pg 97,99), Rav Elyashiv (quoted in Seder HaAruch 79:4), Haggadah Kol Dodi 14:3. See also Igrot Moshe 5:16 </ref> | |||
# There’s a mitzvah (which according to some is Deoritta) in eating more Matzah than the required amount. <Ref>Maharal in Gevurot Hashem chapter 48, Bach 472, Mikrei Kodesh siman 48, Sh”t Har Tzvi 2, and Natai Gavriel (vol 2, 90:26) hold that there’s a mitzvah of eating Matzah as much as one eats even beyond the actual requirement. See also the Emek Shelah (Yitro 53:4). Hagadat Be’er Miryam (pg 53) writes that another reason to eat more Matzah is because there’s a big confusion in the amount necessary and Matzah is a mitzvah Deoritta. </ref> | |||
