Haredi Matzo

I took a trip with some colleagues from work today to visit the Haredi community in Jerusalem. We first went to the Belz Synagogue (click the "Belz" link for an interesting history lesson), which was HUGE. It can accommodate 10,000 worshipers, has nine levels, and has a bunch of chandeliers that weigh 1,900 pounds each and provide acoustics for the hall. Pretty amazing. Oh, and the Rabbi and members of the synagogue helped construct the building.





We also went to a Haredi matzo making outfit in the ultra-religious Mea Shearim neighborhood. Check out the video.
