'Rugelach Man' launches Jewish pastry Web site
By Susan Taylor Special to the Tribune September 9, 2009




Old-style Jewish bakeries are a dwindling lot, but one Chicago Web site entrepreneur has taken up the call for rugelach, the cream cheese- and butter-rich pastries that reside in the food memories of many Jewish people -- old and young alike.

Leon Greenberg, a former mortgage banker, turned his passion for cooking into a catering and online rugelach business. Greenberg comes from a large rugelach-loving family. He once brought 500 pieces to a family reunion in the Bahamas. But it really wasn't a burden.

I love to see people keep their history preserved with food. Food has such a deep connection to so many lives and memories. Very Cool.

Rugelach is a wonderful pastry and I thoroughly enjoy making it as well as devouring it! Keeping ethnic traditions alive is something we should all take the time and effort to accomplish. It's so worth it!
