In the midst of the hectic days leading up to Pesach, a remarkable and unprecedented event unfolded in the Torah world, stirring the hearts of all who witnessed it. For the first time in history, a magnificent kosher l’mehadrin matzah bakery was established within the sacred beis medrash of Mashgiach, HaGaon HaTzaddik Rav Don Segal, in Yerushalayim. This extraordinary initiative was undertaken to bake matzos for the devoted supporters of Yeshivas “Ateres Shlomo,” led by the esteemed Rosh Yeshiva, HaRav Shalom Ber Sorotzkin.
