MATZOS CHAMETZ - TRUTH IN ADVERTISING!

GUEST POST BY MATZO-CRUNCHER

I noticed the following Matzos for sale in one of our Kosher shops and was surprised at the 'explicit honesty' of the manufacturers in labelling the Matzos as "Chametz".
As one wag said, this is what is meant when we say:
שבכל הלילות אנו אוכלין חמץ ומצה

Another interesting Matzo box that may upset the appetite of some of our ‘secular’ friends is this one – which quotes from the Hagada’s “Dayenu”:

אלו נתן לנו את התורה ולא הכנסנו לארץ ישראל – דיינו
“Had He given us the Torah and not brought us into the Land of Israel –
it would have sufficed us…”

Sadly there are many who have exactly the opposite view. They want Israel – but no Torah.
So thanks Osem, for reminding us all what coming to Eretz Yisroel was and is all about.

  1. Thanks Mr Cruncher, I like your matzadigeh posts. Anyone know if I can watch the baking in adass on erev pesach?

  2. I dropped in with my kids for a while - as seemed to be the case with a few others. Very interesting and superbly coordinated by some efficient young chasidim.

    They had 2 separate chaburas of about 1+ 3/4 hours each and every person baking received 6 whole matzos.

    I am thinking of joing them next year. (Hopefully non-Adassniks are welcome)
