Children . . . Rolling in Dough
In the weeks before Passover, there’s a Chabad representative firing up a 700-degree oven in nearly every time zone. One of the many innovative staple-programs of Chabad Houses, the Model Matzah Bakery has become a traditional pre-Passover event for thousands of children worldwide.
Matzah, Passover’s essential flatbread that commemorates the Jewish people’s flight from slavery in Egypt, is the holiday’s most recognizable symbol. With the wild popularity of Chabad’s Model Matzah Bakeries, Jewish children—and adults—of all backgrounds have a chance to participate in the meticulous and precise matzah-baking experience while learning about the history and traditions of the Festival of Freedom.
