The SAR Matzah Factory is Back!

Pesach excitement was in full swing at SAR Academy as students explored Yetziat Mitzrayim, the Haggadah, and the special mitzvot of the holiday. But the true highlight of the season? Our annual favorite, the SAR Matzah Factory!

Students rolled up their sleeves and became real matzah bakers, learning that matzah must be made in just 18 minutes. With the timer set, they got right to work! They mixed and rolled the dough with rolling pins, carefully preparing it for baking in the special matzah oven.

The excitement continued as students watched the dough being hung over a wooden pole, transferred into the oven, and transformed into beautiful shmurah matzah! From start to finish, they experienced every step of the process, gaining a hands-on understanding of how matzah is made and why each detail matters.

This year, over 1,000 SAR students participated in the Matzah Factory, from our youngest learners in the Infant and Toddler Center all the way through 8th grade! It was incredible to see the entire school come together for this meaningful experience. In addition, SAR families joined in on the excitement to bake matzah on Sunday, March 15th.

This interactive experience brought Pesach learning to life, filled with excitement, teamwork, and a deeper connection to the chag.

Thank you to Rabbi Danny Senter and the Chof-K for running the program so smoothly and ensuring the highest standards throughout.
