Cleaning our cubbies for Pesach and making them crumb free.
When the Yom Tov of Pesach comes around it becomes a bread free zone.
Anything made of any kinds of wheat or grains such as barley, rye, oats, and wheat gets thrown out or closed up in an off limits closet... until the 8 days of Pesach is over.
Throwing the 10 peices of bread plus chometz crumbs into the "fire"
The friends hard at work rolling and baking their mazta quickly so it whould be ready within 18 minutes; kosher for Pesach.
Matza is a hard "cracker" that we eat on Pesach to remember what the Jewish people carried out with them from Mitzrayim. Yes, they carried dough on their shoulders being that they didn't have enough time for the dough to rise and bake before their mass exodus from Egypt. Instead, they rolled the dough into flat round crackers and baked on their way under the hot desert sun.
When we eat matza, we also think of how we can better our selves in being humble. Matza is flat and it reminds us to be humble, unlike bread that puffs up and rises like haughtiness.
Getting ready for the seder, washing and checking the lettuce.
Grating the bitter Maror for the Seder.
Wow! Sam and some other friends really showed their braveness at this time!!
Friends practicing the 14 steps of the Seder at our Model Seder.

Happy Pesach!
