Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)
What is Soft Matza?
Soft Matza is the same Shmura Matza that you buy at your local Matza
Bakery. The only difference is that it is rolled out to be a little thicker and
when baked ends up soft instead of crunchy.
Is Soft Matza made from Shmura flour?
Soft Matza is the same Shmura Matza that you buy at your local Matza
Bakery.
Is Soft Matza made in 18 minutes?
Yes, Soft Matza is made in less than 18 minutes from the second the
water hits the first batch of flour, until the last Matza is placed into the
oven to bake. The time that it takes for an actual Matza to be made from start
to finish varies, but usually is less than 3 minutes.
Who can eat Soft Matza?
Since Soft Matza is a little thicker than standard “crunchy” Matzot,
there are differing views. In general, people of Sephardic lineage have a minhag
(tradition) to eat Soft Matzot on Passover. According to "Maran" (R’ Yosef Karo - Shulhan Aruch) a Matza may be baked up to ‘1 Tefah’
(approximately 3-4 inches) thick.
People from Ashkenazic lineage have a minhag (tradition) to eat Matza that is as
thin as possible, and therefore should consult their Rabbi to determine if they
are allowed to our thicker Matza. You can see from the pictures that each one is
about 1/3 - 1/2 of an inch thick.
How many Matzot are in a pound?
It is hard to generalize, but usually a Pound of Matzot will contain 3-4
Matzot. Each one may differ in weight and size, but there will always be 16oz.
in a Lb. – meaning, a Pound will always contain 16 Kezetot when calculated by
weight.
Can you ship Matzot to me?
Yes, we can ship Matzot anywhere in the USA. We will need to ship them
with overnight shipping, as they are frozen and in order to remain fresh, they
need to stay frozen until use. You are welcome to submit your Fedex account
number when you order, so that shipping charges can be billed to your account
directly.
When will my order ship?
We will ship orders as we bake Matzot. We will contact you before we
ship, to ensure that someone will be available to accept the package. We ship
overnight, so you should receive your package the day after we ship.
Where can I pick up my order?
Orders can be picked up at Rabbi David's house. Address and further information
will be provided upon checkout.
