The Matzah Factory is an experience not to be missed.

History comes alive during this workshop. The children step into a time machine and travel back to the sand dunes of Egypt. With the help of descriptive story-telling and vivid props, they feel the sun burning on their backs and the weight of the bricks on their shoulders… The story of Passover becomes a tale rich with meaning and understanding.

After dressing up as farmers, complete with sickles and real bundles of wheat, the Matzah baking process is taught in a real hands-on experience. The children watch and participate in winnowing, separating the chaff from the grain, collecting the grain, and threshing it using an authentic old-fashioned hand mill. The children then form the wheat into the dough, which they roll, perforate and shape into their very own Matzahs.
