Description
The beautiful flat Engraved Wood Matzah Tray is engraved with words and phrases associated with Passover is the perfect place to store your matzah. It makes for a gift that is both stylish and practical.
The inside of the box is engraved with lots of different words that are we use on Passover. Dots have been strategically placed in between the words or phrases to symbolize the little holes that we find in the matzah.
Some of the words that are used are:
פסח (Pesach); מצות (Matzas / unleavened bread); סדר הגדה של פסח (The order of the Pesach Seder); יציאת מצרים (The Exodus from Egypt) and מה נשתנה הלילה הזה (Why is this night different from all other nights?)
On the four outer sides of the box, you will find a beautiful inscription directly related to Pesach. It reads as follows:
מצה זו שאנו אוכלים על שום מה, על שום שלא הספיק בצקם של אבותינו
להחמיץ עד שנגלה עליהם מלך מלכי המלכים הקדוש ברוך הוא וגאלם.
שנאמר: ויאפו את הבצק אשר הוציאו ממצרים עגת מצות כי לא חמץ
כי גרשו ממצרים ולא יכלו להתמהמה וגם צדה לא עשו להם
Which translates to:
"This unleavened bread that we eat, what does it signify? Because the dough of our fathers did not have time to leaven before The King of Kings, Blessed be He, revealed himself to them and redeemed them. As it said: And they baked unleavened bread from the dough which they brought out of Egypt. For it was not leavened, because thy were driven out of Egypt and could not delay; for neither had they prepared themselves any food for their journey".

Mickala Design is the modern Judaica studio of Michal Aharoni, an Israeli designer and ceramicist who founded it to work for herself while raising her four children in the south of Israel. Her pieces are made for the Shabbat and holiday table: seder plates, Rosh Hashanah simanim plates, apple and honey dishes, challah boards, matzah holders, ceramic mezuzah cases and Hanukkah table runners.
Aharoni earned her degree at Bezalel, the Jerusalem design school, and started out designing large-format lighting fixtures before moving gradually into household objects and then Judaica. Her best-known design rethinks the seder plate as a plain bamboo base holding white porcelain bowls, each illustrated with its food in black line or full color. Tablet Magazine likened the drawings to doodles on Instagram rather than the grapes-and-doves motifs of traditional Judaica. She told the magazine she wanted objects that fit the language of the whole home instead of feeling estranged from it, and that the plate let her combine her love of wood and ceramics.
The rest of the line follows the same thinking: natural bamboo and oak, illustrated porcelain, and wood laser-burned with Hebrew text.
