Henry S. Levy and Sons

Henry S. Levy and Sons, popularly known as Levy's, was a bakery based in Brooklyn, New York, USA and most famous for their rye bread. They are best known for their 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."

The Levy's brand is now owned by Arnold Bread, a division of Bimbo Bakeries USA.[5]
