Henry S. Levy and Sons

Henry S. Levy and Sons, popularly known as Levy's, was a bakery based in Brooklyn, New York, most famous for its rye bread. It is best known for its advertising campaign "You Don't Have to Be Jewish to Love Levy's",[1][2][3] which columnist Walter Winchell referred to as "the commercial [sic] with a sensayuma" (sense of humor).[4]

One of the Levy's ad posters, featuring a Native American biting into a Levy's rye sandwich, was included in the Oakland Museum of California's 1999 exhibit "Posters American Style."[5]

The Levy's brand is now owned by Arnold Bread, a division of Bimbo Bakeries USA.[6]
