The Story of Yehuda Matzos
How It Started
The Yehuda Matzos company began a long time ago in 1921. It was started by the Ludmir family in a place called Safed, Israel. Local rabbis, who are Jewish religious leaders, encouraged people to buy matzah from this factory. This helped support the factory and gave jobs to people living in Safed.
Moving to Jerusalem
In 1949, the company moved its factory to Jerusalem. It is still in the same spot today, in an industrial area called Givat Shaul. The factory makes matzo and other baked goods all year long.
What They Make
Throughout the year, Yehuda Matzos produces matzo, matzo flour, cookies, and biscuits. For the Jewish holiday of Passover, they make special kinds of matzo. These include "reserved matzahs" under the Jerusalem Matzah brand, regular matzahs, and "rich matzahs." They also make other products that are kosher for passover. This means they follow special rules for the holiday.
Quality and Standards
The Yehuda Matzos factory is carefully checked by the Chief Rabbinate of Jerusalem. This is a group of rabbis who make sure the food follows Jewish dietary laws. Their products also meet international quality standards like ISO 9001 and HACCP. These standards ensure that the food is made safely and with high quality. Yehuda Matzo also offers matzo that is gluten-free for people who cannot eat gluten.
