Streit’s Matzo and the American Dream

Monday, February 13, 2017 at 7:15pm to 8:38pm

Willard Straight Theatre
Central Campus

Ithaca Premiere 2016 > USA > Directed by Michael Levine

With Elissa Sampson

Since 1925 the Streit's matzo factory has sat in a low-slung tenement building on Manhattan's Lower East Side. While other matzo companies have modernized, Streit's remained a piece of living history, churning out 40 percent of the nation's unleavened bread on pre-War machinery as old as the factory itself. Sponsored by the Jewish Studies Program. More at matzofilm.com
