NYT hearts Matzo

One of the things I find perplexing about Pesach are the people who moan and groan about matzoh for 8 days and nights. Aside from being healthier than store bought bread, matzoh just isn't that awful. We nibble on it quite happily.

What follows are a random sampling of stories about matzo from the God-desecrating and Jew-abhorring New York Times including the paper's FIRST MENTION of the word matzo.

Random mentions 
I've left out dozens, and tried only to include interesting headlines. Doesn't the list seem to tell the history of Jews in NYC? I especially like the frequent mention of Jewish charity, and the respect and recognition given to prominent Jews upon their deaths.
