MATZOS BAKING

I GO EVERY DAY TO LEARN IN BELZ 99 BETHUNE ROAD.
THIS MONTH OF NISSAN IS DIFFERENT FROM THE WHOLE YEAR,
CHILDREN FROM JEWISH SCHOOLS ALL OVER LONDON FRUM AND NOT FRUM
EVEN CHILDREN WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THEY ARE SEEING COME,
 LIKE KISHARON AND SCHOOLS LIKE THAT.
SO MANY CHILDREN COME IN BUSES AND COACHES THAT THEY WAIT IN A QUE TO GET IN.

IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FRUM THE PERSON WHO IS BAKING IS,
( THAT THESE CHILDREN MIGHT DISTURB THE KASHRUS OF THE MATZOS ) 
EVERY CHILD GETS A TURN TO GO ROUND THE WHOLE BAKERY
TO SEE WITH HIS OWN EYES THE PROSES OF HAND BAKING MATZOS.
I ASKED ONE OF THE TEACHERS: " DO YOU ONLY COME HERE TO BELZ ? "
HE TOLD ME THAT OTHER BAKERIES DON'T LET THEM IN.
THEY ARE SCARED THAT IT WILL DISTURB THE KASHRUS 
OF THE MATZOS.

I EXPLAIN TO THE TEACHERS WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE
OF MY T.V. PROGRAM.
"TWO JEWS ON A CRUISE".
MY REBBE THE BEIS YISROEL TAUGHT ME  THAT WHEN YOU
MAKE SOMETHING FUNNY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTRACTED TO LOOK.
THEN YOU CAN TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT IN YIDDISHKEIT.
PEOPLE SEE ME ON THE BUSES AND SAY: " TO ME I SAW YOUR PROGRAM"
I SAY TO THEM DID YOU GET THE POINT ?
" IF YOU DO NOT LEARN YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BE A JEW."
I KNOW THAT EVERY MOVEMENT OF MINE IS TO SPREAD G=DS NAME.
I HOPE THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO INSULT ME ARE TRULY SERVING G=D.
IF NOT THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT G=D WATCHES OVER ME. 

TWO JEWS ON A CRUISE

Wed, 9pm, BBC2

You may remember Gaby and Tikwah Lock from a terrific and revealing Wonderland film about Hasidic weddings last year. As unorthodox as an Orthodox Jewish couple from Stamford Hill could be, they have been married for 40 years but — until last October — had never been on holiday. 

Paddy Wivell, who made the first film, follows the pair on a Mediterranean cruise that as well as the standard swimming pools, casinos and day trips boasts religious lectures and relationship workshops that aim to bring back the sparkle to a marriage. For the Locks, the cruise gives them the chance to discuss the collection of used light bulbs that Gaby has always refused to throw out.

ABOUT THIS PROGRAMME

The documentary series revisits Gaby and Tikwah Lock, a Jewish couple from Stamford Hill, north London who previously featured in a film about Hasidic weddings. This time, the pair invite cameras to follow them as they embark on a 12-day kosher cruise of the Mediterranean on the Golden Iris, which boasts religious lectures and relationship workshops alongside the usual fare of jacuzzi sessions and light entertainment.
