Not according to the Gr"a. According to him, the shleima is for motzi, and the p'rusa for the mitzva of matza. He eliminates a third matza because l'shitaso, Yom Tov does not require lechem mishne. Thus, at a non-seder Yom Tov meal he used only one matza. Conversely, at a Friday night seder, he used three.<br>

<br>Lich'ora the problem with the Rosh [et. al.] is that he takes the lechem Mishneh ruling on YT as axiomatic, although this can be shown to be missing from the text of the Talmud, OTOH Ashkenazim OFTEN accept ancient non-textual sources as EQUIVALENT of Talmudic <br>

<br>AISI, the BY [and Rema] both hold the bottom line is consensus. <br><br>-- <br>Kol Tuv / Best Regards,<br>RabbiRichWolpoe@Gmail.com<br>see: <a href="http://nishmablog.blogspot.com/">http://nishmablog.blogspot.com/</a>
