The broken piece of matzah is called the “Lechem Oni” (bread of affliction). It represents the death of Yeshua on the tree. Wrapping the broken piece of matzah in a napkin represents the burial of the Messiah.

Deuteronomy 16:3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste …

1 Corinthians 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
