Suspected: Gentile Woman Working in the Crown Heights Matzah Bakery

A few days ago a question has arisen over the Jewish identity of one of the woman working in the ‘Lubavitch Matzah’ bakery in Crown Heights. According to the ‘Shulchan Aruch’ in order for Matzos to be good for use as ‘Matzos Mitzvah’ only a Jew may be involved in the entire process of making the Matzah, for a Goy cannot say ‘Leshem Matzot Mitzvah’.

The bakery employs Russian and Polish ladies that roll the dough, one of which has the question arisen over. The woman had been temporarily removed and all matzos that were baked up until a few days ago will be held until her proper identity can be determined.
