Reply To: When Did People Start Eating Shmura Maztos The Entire Pesach?

CTRebbe: You keep referring to this as a “super chumra”. I think you are confusing two issues. Many matzos are made from Shmura Mishas Ketzira (both hand and machine). Using hand made matzos is looked upon as a chumra (as I have taught my children it is a chumra)…….Shmura Mishas Ketzira is a “chatchila” not a chumra. Many individuals use Machine made Matzah Shmura (which is approximately 1/2 the price of hand made). And while I may be struggling financially, I cut back on certain chol hamoed entertainment to cover the cost of my matzah.
