What fun to make matzah from scratch in the comfort of our own "home". The children had a great time rolling the wheat between their hands, exploring the smooth, cool texture of the flour, rolling the dough into a ball after the Rabbi Mendy ground the wheat into flour and mixed it with water, and then flattening the dough with a rolling pin.
The final step was to poke holes in the dough with a fork and bring the dough to the Simon Hall kitchen to bake. Chef Teddy Fox proudly held a pole with two pieces of dough ready for the oven. After making playdough matzah in our class yesterday and today, it was fun for the children to make the real thing under strict religious supervision!
