An interactive traveling Model Matzah Bakery is ready to go on the road, bringing excitement and education to your students or community organization in a fun and exhilarating way.
In the Model Matzah Bakery, children learn how Shmurah Matzah is made - literally from "scratch".
Dressed in Bakers Hats and Aprons the Children stand around a set table with a piece of Fresh dough, a Kneading roller stick, a hole maker tool, and additional flour so nothing sticks. They watch the flour and water cubicles get ready to make the dough while the oven gets hot. Then the children picked in the cubicles start mixing the flour and water into Matzah dough while the others look on.
Once the 18 minute clock starts all the children together quickly mix and knead the dough. Then the dough is rolled out, and riddled full of holes with special Matzah perforators. Now the matzot are rushed to the "brick" oven in the hope of baking the entire batch of Matzot in just 18 minutes. (however, these will not be for kosher for Pesach). While the Matzah bakes, participants hear the story of Passover in a fun interactive way.
Since the Matzah that the children produce themselves will not be kosher for Passover each child will take home an individually boxed, delicious Shmura Matzah that is Kosher for Pesach. The boxes will also include a Pesach Guide.
The Model Matzah Bakery is guaranteed to generate excitement for Pesach and a renewed appreciation of Matzah Shmurah!
We can accommodate a minimum of approximately 75 participants. Each group session is less than 1 hour.
For schools who book in advance, a video about the authentic method of producing Shmura Matzah called "Let's Bake Matzot," is recommended for in-school preview (ideally on a separate day) before taking part in the Model Matzah Bakery.
Additional Shmura Matzah at institutional bulk rates is available - call for details at 347-642-7166.
