- Watch below for a fascinating inside look at Manischewitz’s automated Matza production
Headquartered in Newark, New Jersey since 2006, Manischewitz controls a sizable portion of the mass produced matza market in the United States, where 80 percent of all matza consumed is made by machine.
On Mar. 11, 2015 Videographer Yossi Tepper and VIN News Associate editor made the trip to Manischewitz headquarters to watch how man and machine work together throughout the tightly synchronized matza making process to ensure that matza is made quickly, accurately and most importantly, in strict accordance with halacha.
The Manischewitz matza factory, which boasts two 22,000 water gallon water tanks to hold its mayim shelanu and has a 150 foot oven which runs at over 600 degrees, is a far cry from the small matza bakery opened by Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz, a Lithuanian immigrant who began baking matza for his family and friends in Ohio in 1888. As time went on, demands for Rabbi Manischewitz’s matza grew within Cincinatti’s Jewish community and by improving on existing matza making machinery, switching to gas ovens and making other upgrades, Rabbi Manischewitz soon began shipping matzas to Jewish communities worldwide.
Today, Manischewitz produces over 75 million matzas each year, all under the strict supervision of the Orthodox Union. Several eagle eyed mashgichim are in place throughout the entire production run, removing any potentially problematic matzas from the line. Manischewitz produces 5,000,000 pounds of matza each year and gears up for Pesach production after Tish B’Av each summer. Included in the company’s annual matza totals is a special one day run of 3,500 cases shmura matza, made with flour from a specially supervised mill and is available in 10 ounce boxes both online and in select New York area stores.
I was absolutely blown away by this! After watching this, I plan on buying Manischewitz kosher for Passover matzo next year Passover instead of the local seasonal Brooklyn matzah Bakery ones, which is crazy expensive!

I grew up on Manischewitz Egg and Onion matzos. I was crushed when, at the age of five, my grandmother Moira explained to me that it wasn't Kosher for Passover. The conversation went like this:
"Bubie, you can't eat that today; it's Passover."
"So?"
"So, this kind of matzoh isn't kosher enough for Passover."
"Well then, I'd say that Passover has a mighty high opinion of itself."
"Don't talk like that, boychuk!"
"They say that egg and onion matzoh is a ba-a-a-a-ad motherf--"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"
"I'm just talkin' 'bout matzoh..."
"HERSCHEL?! HERSCHEL?!!! HE'S SAYING NEGRO THINGS AGAIN!"
I’m dead.
Streits better
@@michaelcostello2592 Got a box next to my desk right now. Unsalted.
Wow, very informative, thanks for sharing
Love the attention to detail on the religeous cleaning of the machinery but everyone is so half hearted on the PPE, Rabbi even has his beard hanging out of the snood..
Watching matzah being made is awesome. That being said, I’m a Streit’s guy.
@Jeremy Metcalf
Streit's is my go to matzah as well.
I'm eating matzahs right now!
I'm not a Jew. In fact, I don't even believe in any god at all.
I just like the plain toasty crispyness.
They're tasty.
Very interesting.
4/14/17: WOW, how very interesting.
Why is the interviewer using the blue hair covering like a yarmulke? Most of the hair isn't covered. What's up with that?
Square Matza? .. never saw that. Only large round ones.
I completely understand the strict religious belief of don’t cook it if it’s not Kosher, but isn’t there a way to NOT waste all of that dough and food? Do they donate the rejected food?
איזה סוג של קמח ?
Still not family owned like Streitz
That bit of burnt edges! Ohhh how I love it.
This guy will never be able to take vacation. Good product, wrong Theology.
Matza is a ridiculously bad tasting food. Not to shmear Jews, it's just not delicious. I get the historic symbolism, but I won't eat it.
When you're in the desert with no other food then only Matzah, because that doesn't go bad, you will eat the matzah, like Moses and his people did when they fled for Egypt. *winks*
Matzah is eaten during Passover to remind Jews how bad it was and how awesome God is to take them out of there.
Of course it’s not good. That’s the point. 😚
