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.
