Reply To: Matzah-Why so expensive?

There is very little extortion in hand-matza prices. I run my own chabura and know exactly what each component costs. When I total all our expenses and divide by the quantity baked, it usually comes out 150-170 shekel/kilo. This equals over $19/lb. Inevitably a commercial bakery can reduce some of the expenses, but they are also entitled to a profit.
