Soldiers to Crunch on 80 Tons of Matzo at Seder Tables

The IDF has brought in 80 tons of matzo, 39 tons of meat and 11,000 bottles of grape juice to make sure soldiers will be able to eat well at the Seders they will hold on bases throughout the country.

Army kitchens also are stocked with 9,500 bottles of carbonated drinks and 7.5 tons of Passover cookies.

The IDF tries to make sure that as many soldiers as possible can go home for the first day of Passover, but thousands of others are needed to defend the country.

Seders are held at bases, but some soldiers must be on guard duty or patrol at the time of the Seder, and the IDF is delivering 5,000 meals for them.
