Do I want cardboard matzah or chocolate matzah? Hm....let me think!

The children had the opportunity to work with matzah in some very different ways today. Have you ever noticed the resemblance between corrugated cardboard and a board of matzah? In appearance that is. Pulling apart the cardboard results in pieces which look strikingly like matzah. The children then put a piece of white paper over the cardboard and rubbed using the side of a crayon. A very effective way to do matzah rubbings. As much fun as this was, it didn't hold a candle to the process of making chocolate matzah, and especially the eating part. Keeping the dessert treat in the fridge overnight will certainly make it a delicious and less messy snack to have tomorrow as well. We've got some real chocolate lovers in our class!

Thanks to Hannah, a senior at Brandeis, who helped me today when Lauri was out.

Shalom to all.
