When Motti Margalit first came to the United States from Israel in the late ’90s, he didn’t know much about what his new life would look like, or how long he would be here.
What he did know is that his wife and first child would be at the center of it, and that he wanted to continue to work in the same business as his parents — the bakery business.
So, he got a job at Pariser’s Baker, a Jewish Baltimore institution since 1889. Now, almost 30 years after that move, he is an integral part of that institution’s history as the current owner.
