Following the success of last year’s initiative, in which he, together with his friends, distributed handmade shmura matzah to 770 families for their Passover seder, Menachem Labkowski, 20, is setting his goals even higher for 2025. This year, together with friends, he aims to reach over 800 local Jewish families, ensuring they have access to this special matzah for the holiday.
“In a time when the world has seen so much darkness and antisemitism, we believe the best response is to increase the light,” said Labkowski. “Each mitzvah brings more light to the world, and this initiative is one small way to make a difference.”
Community members who know of a local family that would like to receive handmade shmura matzah are encouraged to reach out and be added to the distribution list.
