The Matzah
|
You’ve got friends. You’ve got business partners. You’ve got family who need this gift of healing and faith in their lives.

In contrast to leavened bread, matzah is not enriched with oil, honey or other substances. It consists only of flour and water, and is not allowed to rise.
|
Shmurah means “watched,” and it is an apt description of this matzah, the ingredients of which (the flour and water) are watched from the moment of harvesting and drawing.
