Some of the kids of my moshav got together today to learn and teach how to make matzot.
Matza is the unleavened bread that we will eat instead of fluffy regular bread for the next week, remembering our quick-exit exodus from Egypt.
The flat hot bread that came off the taboon was really tasty.
Meticulous house-cleaning, grocery shopping, and preparing food for the seder meal of Erev Pesach--most Jewish Israelis can currently say That's My World, pretty much ALL of it.

For more about mountains of store-bought matza you might see my last year's post.

ReplyDeleteYes, and they have turned the non-jewish people on to it too! A friend took us one year to one, and since then I love the ceder meal, with all of it's symbols.
ReplyDeleteThat does look tasty

Cheers, Klaus
Wonderful, I've never seen the teaching of making matoz. I love to see kids hands on learning about their culture.

I would try some of that bread! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun. What a graet tradition to pass along.
ReplyDeleteWonderful that the children can experience the traditional way of baking them rather than just in packets from the supermarket.
ReplyDeleteThey have a special flavour being unleavened and without salt.
What would the world be without traditions.
Flame-baked bread sounds yummy. Seems similar to a lot of Asian and Mediterranean flat breads I've tried too. Thanks for this very informative post, Dina.
ReplyDeleteThanks for including us!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes & Aloha, Dina
To teach playing, a way in order to approach the children the acquaintance. The first person in Italy to having this intuition has been a woman: Maria Montessori
ReplyDeleteMy blog is about the Easter Bunny I'm afraid. But it's not in favour!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that in your moshav people can take part in the matsah making! Chag Pesach Sameah Dina!
ReplyDelete'chag semeach' dina to you and all your family (did your grand-kids come from australia?)
ReplyDeleteHave a great Passover! The feast of being delivered from slavery and tyranny. We also buy matza.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful lesson in life to pass along.
ReplyDeleteHappy Passover. The photos remind me of Native American Fry Bread of the American Southwest.
ReplyDeleteFood cooked over an open fire almost always tastes better, for some reason.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Dina, it must be a very good bread. I'd like to taste some, too.
ReplyDeleteThe devastating earthquake has been Monday early in the morning in Central Italy in the Abruzzo region: Piedmont region, where I live, which is in the North of Italy, is luckily safe. It's a terrible tragedy: 207 victims and 17.000 homeless, for the time being. And the situation is extremely serious because there are still earth tremors.
That's tradition. Important for the culture to pass along to young children.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a good week of preparation, Dina.
I would love to have been there learning along with those children. I received an invitation to participate in a Seder Meal this coming Thursday. I'm so excited and honored to be invited. I've gotten so behind on visiting but I'm trying to catch up. I'm enjoying your posts this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun! Thanks for letting us take a peek.
ReplyDeleteChag Sameach Dina.
ReplyDeleteIt's so great that you teach your children traditions by including them in the preparation as well as in the actual seder meal. Thanks for showing us how you make matza. Have a blessed Passover.
