Dan & Betty Kahn Building of the Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit in West Bloomfield on March 21, and again on March 28, could be seen sniffing the air. "It smells like something bak- ing," many said. And indeed, as they got closer to the building, an unusual sight came into view. Just outside the main door, a huge, black, cast-iron oven had been placed, and it was filled with fresh made matzot. Inside, on the lobby floor, a cross- legged group sat engrossed in Rabbi Yitzchok Bergstein's hands-on demon- stration of grinding wheat and creat- ing matzot. And if that wasn't enough to give away the event-of-the-day, baker's hats on the heads of children and parents alike, reading, "I Baked my own Matzah at the Model Matzah Bakery" make it quite clear. The "Matzah Factory," co-sponsored by the JCC, the Farmington Hills and West Bloomfield Bais Chabad and Barbara and Douglas Bloom, was back! 11 (—/
