April 28 • 2016 45 T he Jewish Community Center was once again the place to be for the annual Barbara and Douglas Bloom Matzah Factory. On April 10, families got together to hear and see the story of Passover in the JCC lobby. Rabbi Shneur Silberberg of the Bais Chabad Torah Center in West Bloomfield once again played Moses, helping the par- ticipants through the "Red Sea" and teach- ing them how to make kosher-for-Passover matzah. Afterward, many children and families enjoyed exploring the JCC's Shalom Street Museum. The Matzah Factory is a partnership of Jewish Federation's JFamily, Shalom Street and the Bais Chabad Torah Center. * Photos by Jerry Zolynsky As If In Egypt … Families enjoy learning about Passover interactively at the Bloom Matzah Factory.
