Breaking Bread

Orthdox Jews baking unleavened bread, matzo, in a wood-fired oven. On the left a man in a long frock coat wearing a white skullcap is manipulating the long aluminium handle of a peel for managing the breads in the oven. On the right a younger man wearing a white plastic disposable apron looks on.

If you bake bread only occasionally, you’re probably just grateful for little packets of dried yeast. This episode is not about that. There’s just not that much to say.

When it comes to Judeo-Christian religious doctrine, however, the role of yeast in human affairs bubbles away below the surface of our cultures.
