One Week to Passover

Jerusalem, 15 April, 2024 (TPS) -- Kretshnif Chassidim bake Matza – unleavened bread – for the Passover holiday which begins in seven days. Anything made from grains in any form other than Matza may not be eaten or even be in ones possession during the week ling holiday.

Here they are hand making special Matza called Shmura Matza (watched matza) because even the grains are specially watched when harvested and through to the time of baking.

The Kretshnif Chassidim are named for the city of Crăciunești in present-day Romania. The sect was founded by Rabbi Meir Rosenbaum in the late 19th Century.
