I want to be a matzo maker.

March 1888 - Rabbi Manischewitz announces he is going to make matzos and opens a small bakery in Cincinnati, Ohio. Demand becomes so great that he turns to the use of gas-fired ovens, replacing the older coal stoves being used by other Jewish bakers. The newer ovens allowed for much more careful control of the baking speed, ensuring a consistent and standard quality to the matzos.
