A kosher supermarket in Great Neck, New York, is priding itself on its special bread oven, which came all the way from Iran.
The owner of the supermarket explained, in a conversation with Arutz Sheva, that the oven is used to make sangak bread, a staple of the Iranian Jewish community which has a large representation in Great Neck.
“I wanted to bring back their childhood memories,” he said, “so we brought this machine with a lot of effort. But we made it and I’m very happy about it.”
When local Jews came to the store, he recalled, “They couldn’t believe that such a machine could be built in New York. I saw one lady who was standing and crying. I asked her why she was crying and she replied, ‘You just brought me memories from my childhood.’”
