Released Time Distributes 800 Pounds of Matzah

Yesterday, Wednesday, Jewish public school students were given a taste of the upcoming Passover holiday. Learning hands-on the ins and outs of the upcoming holiday, Jewish children from public schools across the New York City area participated in model Matza bakeries arranged by the local Shluchim.

In addition, they each received a box of hand-baked Shmurah Matzos enough for both sedarim, together with an English Haggadah and the newly printed Rabbi Riddle book on Pesach.

The Released Time Program of Greater New York distributed a total of 800 pounds of Matza to its students, their families and the Jewish staff in the public schools. “These huge crackers look awesome; I can’t wait to taste them on Passover!” a student from PS 128 was overheard excitedly saying.
