Rabbi Levi Krinsky puts rolled matzo dough into an oven in the gym of the Jewish Federation of New Hampshire on Sunday. The Chabad Lubavitch of New Hampshire-sponsored event was aimed at teaching the process of making matzo before Passover, which is next Sunday. “The simplicity of matzo represents the simplicity of man,” Krinsky said.

MANCHESTER, NH — Scott Schaeffer and his family buy their matzo bread at the store, he says, only because “we don't have the (utensils) to make it at home.”

Lubavitch of Iowa operates the “Maccabee Kosher Deli” which is the only Kosher restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa. A local newspaper, the Des Moines Register, is hosting a poll asking which deli in town makes the best deli sandwich, and included in its list of options is the Kosher deli.

Currently the Maccabee Kosher Deli’s “The Megillah” sandwich, which is composed of corned beef, roast beef and choice of toppings, including sauerkraut and schug, an Israeli red pepper spread, served on rye bread, commands just 2% of the vote.
