This year, as Bris Avrohom of Fair Lawn moved into its new expansive building, a pre-Pesach program was organized for all the children and their parents from the school. The program included a beautiful video presentation about Pesach and an actual matzah bakery was set up where the children, parents and staff rolled the dough for the matzah and learned hands-on how matzahs are made. At the conclusion of the event, the children received a box of handmade shmura matzah from Israel to enjoy on Pesach. The parents all received matzah as well. Also present at the event were Bris Avrohom board members and elected dignitaries.

Dennis Gralla, whose parents, Milton and Shirley Gralla, z”l, helped purchase the first building of Bris Avrohom Fair Lawn, dons tefillin at the event.
