Booktalk: Ezra and Roza are helping to prepare for their Passover celebration. Ezra is proud to be in charge of bringing his family’s flour to the synagogue to be baked into matzah in a traditional wood-burning oven. But when Ezra makes a mistake and the matzah is ruined, what will he and his sister Roza, do? Join the siblings as they experience the sights, smells, sounds, and unique traditions of a seder in Iran of the 1950s.
Snippet: Their kitchen was buzzing with activity: chopping, stirring, and simmering. As Roza passed by, she saw piles of dates, golden raisins, pistachios, almonds, and other ingredients that Mama would mix together later that day for hallaq, the Persian charoset used during the Passover seder.
