Passover Shortage Hits Russia Jewish Communities
More than half of Russia's religious Jews observed Passover amid matzo shortages. Moscow's central synagogue relied on a private bakery to help 40,000 local Jewish families but could serve only about 2,000. Leningrad faced local authorization hurdles for matzo production. Since 1961 the state bans on matzo production persist amid limited imports. Gift parcels from abroad faced discouragement and delivery delays. An Israeli envoy offered a seder dinner for 57 guests after a synagogue service.
