Schach

Have you ordered your Sukkah?

Raffia (also known as rafya or raphia) is a non manufactured material which
many halachic opinions say is better to use than regular manufactured string.

Super Mehadrin Bamboo Schach manufactures its Bamboo Schach in accordance with the strictest Halachic standards. The Schach is made from bamboo strips that are joined by raffia – all natural plants ("Gidulei Ha'aretz"). It is hand made for the sole purpose of the Mitzvah of Schach. It is all "Mehadrin min Hamehadrin". The Schach is treated to resist rain spoilage and to resist the weather conditions in North America . Our Schach has a Hechsher from the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of America.

Raffia is a fiber obtained from the raffia palm of Madagascar, exported for various uses, such as tying up plants that require support, binding together vegetables to be marketed, and weaving baskets, hats, and mats. It is also made into a native cloth that is exported as rabanna. The raffia palm (Raphia farinifera or R. ruffia) is crowned with enormous leaves that may be as much as 65 ft (19.8 m) long and composed of 80 to 100 leaflets. The fiber, which is soft, pliable, strong, and non-shrinking when wet, is torn in thin strips from these leaves. After being dried in the sun, raffia takes on a yellowish-tan hue, but it is often dyed other colors. [Source: Columbia Encyclopedia]
