Wheat stalks are placed in their hands. Kernels are examined up close. Through the ancient winnowing process, the grain is separated, and then the real transformation begins!
Participants pour the kernels into a working mill and grind the wheat themselves, turning whole grain into fresh flour before their eyes. They watch it change. They hear the grinding. They feel the texture shift.
Step by step, participants witness how something raw and simple becomes the foundation for matzah — because they made it happen!
Next comes the dough.
Water and flour are mixed. Sleeves are rolled up. The dough is kneaded, rolled, and perforated with focus and excitement.
And then comes the highlight…
