Question

I have several boxes of handmade matzot, each weighing one kilogram. I want to combine the matzot to obligate them in separation with a blessing. Can they be combined by having the cartons touch each other, and if not, do they need to be removed from the bags or just from the cartons?

Answer

Shalom Rav

To obligate in challah, the matzot need to be removed from the cartons but not from the bags. Additionally, they should be placed in one vessel or wrapped in a large sheet.
