Scope and Content
This documentary film of the Kardish family and the Rideau Bakery in Ottawa, Ontario was produced with funding through OMNI Television Independent Producers Initiative. Using archival images, family photographs and interviews with family members, staff and customers, the film tells the story of a bakery that has continued for four generations. The film explores the challenges facing one of the last surviving family owned and operated bakeries in this country. David Kardish recalls going to the bakery as a child with his father. He is shown at the bakery packing bread, helping out wherever he is needed and sitting at the Rideau Street lunch counter where many loyal customers praise the traditional European style baked goods. Debbie (Kardish) Baylin started out in the accounting area working with her father. As the family historian, she recounts the story of Rivka baking bread while raising 12 children in order to support the family while her husband Moise studied Torah. Historian Henry Abramson provides background commentary about life in of Kamianets-Podilsky Russia from the 1890's to the 1920's when two Kardish brothers immigrated to Ottawa. David and Abe Kardish worked for other bakeries until opening the first Rideau Street bakery in 1930. "Uncle" Moe Kardish and Pinhey Kardish reflect on how their lives were shaped by working at the bakery from an early age. Other footage includes a tribute to long time employees Ivan, Max and Annie who were treated like family by the Kardish's. Louis Kardish started at the bakery working nights when he was 15. He always felt that he wanted to contribute to the family business. Today he manages the operation which supplies goods to local restaurants, stores and synagogues throughout Ottawa. The film contains Bonus Features on Kaminets-Podilsky, Photo Gallery (stills of film crew at work), Henry Abramson Interview, Trailer and extended scenes of Louis, Muriel and Rachel Kardish at home, David Kardish making pizza dough, Annie at Retirement party and Pinhey Kardish with Rabbi R. Bulka at prayer.
