own matzos, all under the pressure of the 18 minutes time limit.

Participants really feel as if they are in an authentic Matzah Bakery, with a well for mayim shelanu (the pre-drawn water used for baking matzos), a millstone for grinding the wheat and the different cubicles for “water” “flour” and “kneading.” Everyone is dressed like bakers with hats and aprons on. Pesach really comes to life!

“Many educators are booking the matzah bakery because they still remember participating in it as children and the positive impact it had,” said Rabbi Yossi Simon of Tzivos Hashem U.K.

London Kehillah Benefits From Federation’s Pre-Pesach Hagalas Keilim

Approximately 200 people gathered to kasher their utensils for Pesach at sites in Hendon and Edgware on Sunday afternoon, during the Federation’s annual hagalas keilim event.

The Hendon site was overseen by Dayan Yehoshua Posen, the Federation’s Director of Beis Din Operations, while Edgware was supervised by Rabbi Alan Lewis, Rav of Yeshurun, and Rabbi Dovid Roberts, Rav of Kehillas Netzach Yisroel. Those attending were assisted by teams of efficient bachurim, who carried out the hagalah under guidance from the Rabbanim, as well as ensuring there was smooth traffic and queue control at all times.

The project required extensive planning by Mrs Judy Silkoff, the Federation’s Director of Operations, and included a focus on methods of speeding up the process and ensuring the events were run in the most mesudar way possible.

Dayan Posen said, “The event was very well-attended and many of the participants expressed their appreciation for the service. Next year, it is our intention to further enhance

hagalas keilim by providing a fast-track for those people with six items or less.”
