"Rabbenu Asher would work hard himself on baking matzot for the seder, encouraging and assisting the bakers, and so it is proper for every person to do, engaging in this mitzvah themselves."- Shulhan Arukh 460.2
This year Ansche Chesed will empower you to make Kosher-for-Passover matzah for the seder night with your very own hands. We are partnering with Mitzvah Matzos, a great organization dedicated to fighting human trafficking at our holiday of liberation. Rabbi Barry Dolinger, an Orthodox rabbi from Providence, RI, will join us via zoom and lead us through the process. When it's over, you'll walk away with organic matzah that more closely resembles a soft wrap than the crunchy cracker you get from Streits. But don't worry, it will be totally Kosher, under Rabbi Barry's supervision and Rabbi Kalmanofsky's. As in previous years, when the holiday gets closer, you can also buy the soft matzot they bake at their website, which will be distributed at Ansche Chesed.
Please RSVP below by Wednesday, April 2 at noon.
We have space for up to 25 participants. Parents can bring children aged 10 and up.
$36 for first attendee per household, $18 for additional members of your household.
