Columbia, MD — Ever since the Jews fled ancient Egypt with their unleavened bread, matzo has traveled with them to all corners of the Jewish Diaspora. And just as Jewish life has found fresh expression on new soil and with new generations, so has matzo.

After allegations were raised by one of the websites that one of the employees at the Matzah bakery was not Jewish, the owners of the bakery went and made sure she was Jewish. This article was originally published on COL.org.il and was translated for the benefit of our readers.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has asked two subway car manufacturers to come up with designs for digital security cameras that could be installed inside the cars, officials said yesterday.

Images from the cameras could be used in criminal investigations and could also help investigators in the aftermath of a terrorist attack.

Michael Lombardi, senior vice president for subways of New York City Transit, said the authority had asked Kawasaki and Alstom, the two companies that are producing the latest model of subway car, known as the R160, to propose ways to add security cameras to the cars. The request was made within the last two months.
