Bagels Are
Very Popular
RABBI BERNARD S. RASKAS
SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
A
researcher for the Ameri-
can Institute of Baking in
Manhattan, Kansas, esti-
mates that Americans con-
sumed fewer than a half-million .
bagels in 1962 but more than 5
million last year. Now sales are
in excess of 1 billion dollars a year
in the united States alone. There
are over 4,200 bagel bakeries to-
day and the number is growing.
The basic information about
the bagel can be found in The
Bagel Bible which was written by
Marilyn and Tom Bagel. (Bagel
is their real name). There are two
versions of its origin. One is it was
invented by a Jewish baker in Vi-
enna in 1683 to thank King John
III Sobieski of Poland who saved
the city from Turkish invaders.
The baker crated a hard roll in
the shape of a riding stirrup, in
honor of the king's favorite hob-
by. The bread's original name
was "bugel" from German for stir-
nips.
Other contend that the earli-
est form of the term comes from
the Yiddish word "beygl." This
word is found in the communal
rules of the Jewish Community
of Cracow, promulgated in the
year 1610. The rules stipulate
that bagels are among the gifts
which may be given to women in
childbirth. Bagels were served at
the meal following a burial to sig-
nify the cycle of life, but no one is
certain where or when the cus-
tom began.
The bagel was brought to
America by Jewish immigrants
in the early 20th century. During
the Depression, the bagel became
"The Dough Jones Index." The
bigger the hole, the less dough
was used; this was a sign of hard
times.
A Jewish immigrant named
Harry Lender, who was a bagel
baker in Lublin, arrived in 1927,
and six months later, he opened
Lender's Bagels as a family busi-
ness. Today, Lender's is the lead-
ing bagel seller.
Two sons of the founder now
run the operation and plan to
open a bagel plant in Israel.
Bagels also express a philoso-
phy. This was expressed in an old
poem:
Between the optimist and pes-
simist.
The difference is droll:
The optimist sees the bagel,
But the pessimist sees the hole.
