- Photographic essay by Liliane Aberman depicting the making of 'Shmura Matzo' at a Montreal factory. Three flyers advertising 'Shmura Matzos.'
- Of her work, the artist states, "In March 1995, a few days before Passover, I was introduced to the matza factory. The factory, prepares Shmura matza and was at this time in the accellerated tempo of full production. I was fascinated by the sights and sounds of this industrious place especially because it seemed to emerge out of a bygone era. Everything here is done by hand, untouched by the mechanization of the western world.
- As I observed the work in progress, it seemed to me that I was a spectator at a ballet of sorts where each individual fit into a perfectly orchestrated series of steps. There are no extraneous movements and no wasted time, as each batch of matza must be prepared within 14 min. These photographs are a selection of the images taken at the matza factory and record the process of preparing the matza." - Liliane Aberman

- Ray Shankman (1940-2016) was born in Toronto, and taught at Lakehead University, Ben Gurion University and for over twenty years at Vanier College, where he taught English and Jewish Studies. He published poetry in various journals and small magazines in the U.S. and Canada, as well as scholarly articles on the Bible. His collection of poetry “For Love of the Wind” was published in 1991 by Medicine Label Press. As a writer, his correspondence includes letters from Allen Ginsberg, Irving Layton, David Solway, and others. He was also actively involved in several countercultural movements in the 1960s, and in many ways, the collection is a window onto this period of Canadian history.
