Matzah:[1]
It is customary to eat Matzah in honor of Pesach Sheiyni.[2]
When? Many are accustomed to eat Matzah on Pesach Sheiyni, on the day of the 14th of Iyar.[3] Some are accustomed to eat it towards the afternoon.[4] Others[5] are accustomed to eat Matzah [only or also[6]] on Motzei Pesach Sheiyni, which is the night of the 15th of Iyar. Others eat on the night of the 14th. Those that are most scrupulous eat Matzah all three times.[7]
The Chabad custom: Our custom is to eat Matzah during the day meal of the 14th of Iyar.[8] The Rebbe himself however ate the Matzah many years on the night of the 15th.[9] This custom is also mentioned in talks of the Rebbe. As stated above, the Rebbe states that those who are meticulous eat Matzah three times, once on the night of the 14th, once by the day of the 14th, and once on Motzei the 14th.
