SHMURA MATZA
When our forefathers left Egypt, they were in such a hurry that there was no time to wait for the dough to rise. They ate matzah, unleavened bread. With only this food our ancestors relied on the Almighty to provide sustenance for the entire Jewish nation. Each year, to remember this, we eat matzah on the first two nights of Pesach, thereby fulfilling the Torah’s commandment, “Matzot shall you eat..”
Shmurah means “watched,” the flour and water are watched from the moment of harvesting and drawing, to prevent any contact with wheat or other grain. The water is drawn the night before the baking and kept pure until mixed with the flour. The baking process is under strict supervision to avoid any possibility of leavening during the baking process.
We would love to bring you Shmura Matzah for your Passover Seder!
