"Matzo—unleavened bread—is eaten on the Jewish holiday of Passover. The B. Manischewitz Company was started 120 years ago, two years after its founder, Dov Behr, immigrated to Cincinnati from Salant, Lithuania, in 1886. He first slaughtered and peddled kosher meat, then branched out into matzo baking. The author, Behr's great-granddaughter, chronicles the family's history and the technology for baking matzos. By the 1920s, Manischewitz had become the world's largest manufacturer of matzos, producing 1.25 million a day. She reveals that decade after decade, the firm, working within the confines of Jewish law, managed to synthesize the requirements of the faith with the most modem technologies to produce more matzos for more people than any company in Jewish history. Eventually, it exported matzos to Jewish communities around the world and expanded to include such products as gefilte fish and kosher wine. This exhaustively researched book is an engaging account of the family and their matzos." -Booklist
