Nice neighbors invited me to their long and bountiful seder table last night.
No noodles in the chicken soup; that's forbidden food all this Passover week.
Fluffy matza balls are much much better anyway!
I brought to the seder a box of three special hand-made matzas from Kfar Chabad.
The historic bakery in Kfar Chabad is the world's largest producer of hand-make matzot.
Matza shmurah is baked quickly in a brick oven like in the picture.
Its interesting story is explained in my post from last Pesach.
But the main thing, as the box says, is "Get a taste of freedom," freedom from slavery in ancient Egypt and from all kinds of things that shackle our growth today.
Chag sameach--happy Pesach!

A lovely table of traditional food.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! Happy Pesach!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like quite a meal!
ReplyDeletePlease note that these are just the little salads and symbolic foods on the table at the beginning. After reading the first part of the Hagadda, that's when the meat and main dishes are brought out.
ReplyDeleteI did seder last year. Interesting history and symbolism
