Bob Rabinoff:
Bob is planning to go to Maccabee’s Deli in Des Moines to get Shmurah Matzah. Shmurah Matzah is matzah the wheat for which has been guarded against any hint of leavening from the time of the harvest until it is actually baked, by hand, into matzot. It is made with plain wheat flour and water, and the time from when the water touches the flour until it is done being baked cannot exceed 18 minutes. It’s the most authentic re-creation of the “bread of affliction” that our forefathers ate in the land of Egypt! With the price of basic commodities going up (check the farm reports on WHO or in the paper <g>), the price of Shmurah Matzah has gone up a bit from prior years — it’s $22/box. If you’d like Bob to pick something up, e-mail right away at rar113@columbia.edu or by phone at 472-9842 in Fairfield.
