I don’t believe the original story, but the topic is interesting.
I would like someone to explain this situation to me:
There is a special bakery set up, with carefully chosen wheat, water that has been left overnight, a special oven heated to extreme temperatures, and a timed work schedule that is digitally monitored. The cleanliness is impeccable, and there is a team of specially trained Orthodox Jews doing the work from start to finish.
Everything that exists in this process, physical, mechanical, by machine or human hands down to the minutest detail is for one purpose only; matzos for Pesach. That’s it, one purpose only. Everyone knows it, and it cannot be denied.
It seems obvious to me that the lishmah aspect is built in to the entire system. To belabor the point, the whole operation is screaming its purpose. How can anything come out of this lo lishmah?
If anyone on the matzo preparation team tells me he baked lo lishmah, I would send him for therapy and eat the matzos at the seder.
