Pressure in matzo bakeries: According to the weather forecast, this coming Thursday, the 9th of Iyar, stormy weather is expected and rain is expected in most regions of the country, with fears of flooding in the southern streams. The fear is that the already ripe wheat will ferment from the rainwater.
In the 'Urdu Community', Rabbi Landa's Kosher, and others, they did not take any risks and went out into the field to harvest wheat. This year, the wheat harvest is being carried out for two years - 2015 and 2016, as due to the Sabbatical year, it will be impossible to harvest, and the amount of dry wheat that must be harvested is double.
Matzo bakeries hired hundreds of workers to harvest the wheat before the rains came.
One of the bakery owners told the Haredim10: "There's no chance of harvesting the entire quantity before the rain. After all, the 'Haredi community' harvests every year for two weeks in a row, and this year, because of the double quantity, they'll need a month to finish. So what good will yesterday's, today's, and tomorrow's harvest be? After all, they won't have time to harvest everything anyway?!""
So you're running out of time as usual? We ask - and he replied: "I visited the area where we harvest in the north and discovered that the wheat is green and has not dried out yet, so the rain will not harm them at all. It is not relevant to harvest them right now. By the way, according to the forecast, the main rain is expected in the south, so at least I have nothing to fear.".
A survey of 10 ultra-Orthodox Jews reveals: Most of the wheat in Israel is already ripe, and the worried and the strict have something to fear.
Watch the Rabbi of Bnei Brak, the Grand Rabbi Landa, and the Rosh Yeshiva of Satmar, Rabbi Chaim Zvi Meislish, harvest wheat for the 'Masoret Hamatzo' bakery, run by the Schwartz brothers.
