Matzoth baked at the Czechoslovakian state bakery at Zlate Moravce, and kosher wine from the State wine cellars, have been distributed to Jewish communities throughout Czechoslovakia by the Council of Jewish Communities of Bohemia and Moravia, according to reports received here today.

The matzoth were baked under the supervision of Chief Rabbi Elias Katz, of Slovakia, who also supervised the distribution of both matzoth and wines. Communal seders were scheduled, according to the reports, to be held at the headquarters of the Jewish Community at Prague, as well as in many other large Jewish centers. These included Brno, Marianske, Lazne, Karlovy, Podebrade, Bratislava and Kosice.
