Isaac Lieberman, a Mashgiach, or rabbinical supervisor, removes a flawed sheet of unbaked matzo as they travel on the matzo production line at the Manischewitz manufacturing facility on February 4, 2014 in Newark, New Jersey. Under strict rabbinical supervision at all times and in all stages of production, over 1 million sheets of matzo are produced daily during the height of the Passover season. Image by Getty Images
