Sh’murah Matzah: available from Bob Rabinoff
This is the Last Week to call for Fairfield delivery!
It’s almost Purim, and that means that Pesach is coming up soon. Once again, Gd willing, I will make my annual pilgrimage to Maccabee’s Deli in Des Moines to get traditional, hand-made Sh’murah Matzah (matzah whose ingredients – plain wheat flour – have been set aside and guarded from the time of harvest specifically for the mitzvah of making Pesach matzot). Once again, I am taking orders. Pesach is on Shabbat, April 7th this year, so I will probably go up around March 25. Please email me at rar113@columbia.edu or call 472-9842 (leave a message) and let me know how many boxes you want. I don’t know the price yet, but Rabbi Jacobsen of Maccabee’s Deli thinks price will be the same as last year: $22 for a 1-lb box.
Chag Same’ach!
