At the end of March, women began preparations for matza baking, under stringent supervision, in Moshav Komemiyut near Kiryat Gat. The preparation and baking of matzot is a laborintensive process and must be completed within 18 minutes.After rolling out the dough, it is baked at high heat until it develops dark spots, then set aside to cool. Matza is just one way the Jews commemorate the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt some 3,500 years ago; in their haste, the bread they had prepared for the journey did not have time to rise.‘You shall not eat leaven with it; for seven days you shall eat with it matzot, the bread of affliction, for in haste you went out of the land of Egypt, so that you shall remember the day when you went out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.’ (Deuteronomy 16:3)
