One of the great central Mitzvahs of Pesach is eating Matzah commemorating the "poor mans bread" that our ancestors ate in Egypt and the "unleavened bread" we ate when leaving Egypt. Mystical Jewish Teachings explain that Matzah on Pesach is a "Food of Faith" and a "Food of good health". Matzah is "bread" which is not allowed to rise.The time the flour touches the water until it comes out of the oven cannot exceed 18 minutes! 

What’s Shmurah? Shmurah means guarded. Shmurah Matzahs are carefully guarded throughout the process of harvesting the wheat and making the flour. The flour is mixed with pure water, kneaded, rolled - by hand, and then baked in a wood fire, stone oven. Every step was done with כוונה - mind, heart, & soul!

While the Mitzvah of Matzah can absolutely can be done by eating any Kosher for Pesach Matzah; this cherished Mitzvah is best done at the Seder by eating the Handmade Shmurah Matzahs. A Mitzvah is best done with a human heart and soul. Even the preparation. Thoughts do count. To fulfill your Mitzvah; be sure to eat at least one half of a Matzah within six minutes after Nightfall at each Seder.

The Pesach Matzah Campaign: Due to the great importance of this central Mitzvah of eating Matzah; the Rebbe encouraged every Rabbi to ensure that all of their congregants have Shmurah Matzah for thier Seder. At Chabad of Maple our goal is to ensure that every individual in our Jewish community has Shmurah Matzah for their Seder. A group of dedicated volunteers are working to deliver a gift of three hand baked Shmurah Matzah to our neighbors and friends in the community. Special Thanks to all those who have contributed towards this project and to the dedicated team of volunteers giving so kindly of their time to help ensure every Jew we know has Shmurah Matzah for the Seder. The Matzah is a gift for you!
