MODEL MATZAH BAKERY

at

TEMPLE SHOLOM

Our Hebrew School students had a great time when the
Model Matzah Bakery came to the Zelda and Herman Schartz
Hebrew School at Temple Sholom.
Not only did the children learn how Shmurah Matzah is made,
but they all participated in actually making the matzah.
Children started by threshing natural wheat stalks, separating the wheat from the chaff.
Next, the children collected the wheat grain into hand-driven millstones.
The children then ground the wheat grain into flour. Next, they sifted the flour.
They then began mixing the flour with water and kneaded it into Matzah dough.
They rolled the dough out and with special Matzah perforators making the dough
full of holes. Finally, the children brought their matzot to the brick oven to bake.
