<p>Somebody (either here or on Areivim) was asking about the minhag to eat matza between Pesach and Shavuos.</p>
<p>I happened to pick up a sefer called "Bein Pesach u'Shavuos" (by R Zvi Cohn) and saw a few mentions about this. First, he cites the Gr"a that he never ate matza when it was not Pesach. I think the reasoning is that he didn't want to get hana'ah from it, but, rather, eat it only because it was a mitzvah.</p>
<p>But then, later in the sefer, I saw reference to (a) a minhag (Belz and Chernobyl) to eat matza to eat matza on every shalosh seudos between Pesach and Shavuos, and wetting it with fish juice/gravy; and (b) v'yesh a minhag to eat matza *every* time one washes for bread, in order to combine "michlei d'm'heimnusa u'michlei d'asvasa" food/meal of emuna and food/meal of refuah (apologies for messing up the vowels). The footnote cites the sefer "Darchei Chayim v'Sholom" siman 633. And also to be m'dakdek to make one kugel for shabbos with matza and to pass it around, particularly on shalosh seudos after the z'miros.</p>
<p>I don't translate so well, so if you want to see "inside" R Cohn's sefer, I put it here: <a href="http://s3.postimg.org/wukbartcj/matza.jpg">http://s3.postimg.org/wukbartcj/matza.jpg</a> and if you look and find mistakes, please let the list (or at least me!) know!</p>
