Once a year the students of Derech Etz Chaim bake matzot for Pesach with the rebbeim and friends of the yeshiva. This year was an added challenge. After moving into the new building adjustments had to be made to accommodate the equipment. Fortunately, Rabbi Katz and R' Sheftel had already thought of this long before the move into the new building. Of course it is one thing to design the "matzah baking factory" in their minds and another to put it into practice.Two big differences was the 90 degree angle from the rolling tables to the boring tables and the ovens. Also the ovens were inside the building this year instead of on their mirpeset.
As usual the boys worked hard (some harder than others). Special thanks to Uncle Josh who took on a lot of the pounding. Yaakov Hill who handled much of the kneading and R' Sheftel for working the oven and for setting up the equipment.
