In a small bakery ahead of Passover, a centuries-old tradition comes to life — from mixing to baking in minutes, each matzah tells a story of freedom.
Join All Israel News correspondent Oriel Moran as she steps inside a traditional matzah bakery on the eve of Passover to witness one of Judaism’s most ancient and meaningful traditions come to life — handmade matzah, prepared exactly as it has been for thousands of years.
From the moment the dough is mixed until it emerges from the blazing oven, experience the fast-paced, meticulous process that connects today’s Jews directly to the Exodus from Egypt. No time for the dough to rise — just pure, unleavened bread baked in haste, just as their ancestors did on the night of redemption.
But matzah is far more than food. It is a powerful symbol of freedom, humility, and faith — a reminder of both physical liberation from slavery and the spiritual journey from bondage to redemption
.Oriel also explores the deeper preparations for Passover: the meticulous search for and removal of chametz (leaven), the spiritual cleansing of the home, and the profound personal reflection on what it truly means to move from slavery to freedom.
What does it feel like to knead the dough with your own hands, bake fresh matzah, and bring it to your family’s Seder table? Watch to find out.
