[Avodah] Thin Matza ShO 451:111

[Meir Rabi]

R Z Sero makes an obvious point in saying, "This is not the MB; he's just
quoting the MA.  And what does the MA mean by "thin"?  The Ba'er Hetev says
it means an etzba.  Matza an etzba thick had better be at least somewhat
soft!

I wish to add that the Mekor for all this is the Ramo, 460:4 "Matzot should
be made as Rekikin and not thick" (a most unusual position since it precedes
the Mechaber in 460:5 who says we do not make thick Matos on Pesach) and the
BHetev documents that the custom is to make them the thickness of an Etzbah.
