Streit's: Matzo and the American Dream

From 1925 until last spring, Streit’s family-run matzo factory sat in a low-slung tenement building on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. While other matzo companies had modernized, Streit’s remained a piece of living history, churning out 40 percent of the nation’s unleavened bread on machinery as old as the factory itself. “The recipe? It’s found in the Bible,” quips one of the great-grandsons, part of the family that continues to run the factory today. Streit’s: Matzo and the American Dream is a delightful story of tradition, resistance, and resilience, and a celebration of a family whose commitment to its heritage and its employees is inspiring proof that the family that bakes together stays together.

This film is part of the Westchester Jewish Film Festival 2017 series.
