65 Pitt Street, NYC























The site where Weinberger and Streit was launched. Rabbi Moshe Weinberger was Rov in Beis Medrish Hagodol Anshei Ungarin and was forced to leave his post as a result of having opened his bakery. He continued baking hand shmurah matzoh at this location through the 1940s, well after his partner Aron Streit relocated to Rivington Street in 1925.

Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky remembers Reb Leibel Bistritzky, o"h, he just forgets that he was a Lubavitcher Chossid.

  It really was a VERY warm and well-written article, and I enjoy reading it weekly. I just wonder if Rabbi K was so particular when it came to his uncle and zeide, exactly what their titles were, etc., why not when it came to Leibel? But maybe it's me and my Lubavitch-induced paranoia.
