Art Painting--Passover,Making Matzah

Making Matzah

I was watching a documentary the other day on the making of matzah.

Orthodox Jews make it and they call it Shmurah matzah.The process is done by hand. The

ingredients are flour and water only. It is eaten for eight days during Passover and during this

time, eating bread is forbidden as well as other leavened products. Not an easy time. Matzah is

hard on the stomach and it often causes constipation. Think of it as eating rock-hard pizza and

you will know what it's like to eat matzah.There is often relief when this holiday is finally over

eight long days later.

Tip: to make matzah more digestible, the secret is to chew it and chew it till

it all becomes a soft mush. Then swallow. At the same time, all this chewing helps bring out the

flavor in the matzah. Happy Passover.
