Making Matzo in Dabeik

Here are two stories about girls making matzo in Dabeik, the Lithuanian home shtetl of Judith (aka Y’hudis) Korim Hornstein (February 29, 1908-March26, 1996), zikhrona l’vrakha:

The first recording is of Judith answering her daughter Harriet’s questions circa 1990. In the second, years later, Harriet recounts a waking dream about her mother’s story.

Judith (Y’hudis) remembers making matzoh in Dabeik when she was a girl (around 1920).
