Marrying is a family story connected to the Israeli food conglomerate Strauss Group, an international Food & Beverage company, headquartered in Israel, where they are the largest food company. Their portfolio includes five businesses: Strauss Coffee B.V., Strauss Israel, Strauss Water, PepsiCo Strauss Fresh Dips & Spreads International and Max Brenner, aligned with two global consumer trends: Health & Wellness and Fun & Indulgence.
Velvel, Ranni's father, was a poor orphan, who married Raya Strauss and began working in the family-owned factory (which started as a small dairy farm and became one of the biggest food conglomerates in Israel). They divorced when Ranni was 10, and for him, his father remained this strict meticulous withdrawn man who tore the family apart. 8mm reels discovered after his death arouse questiones that lead Ranni to embark on a personal journey between his parents' very different worlds, in an attempt to better understand his father and the complexities of family loyalty, trying to overcome years of alienation. Looking at his family from behind the camera, he is reshaping his memories.

The Art of Jewish Food is funded in part by The Jewish Food Experience (JFE), a program of The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington (http://jewishfoodexperience.com).
The Art of Jewish Food, powered by the J, celebrates Jewish food and culture through food, film and author events. More than just sustenance, food is a reflection of a community's history, culture and values. Jewish food is a diverse cuisine that has evolved over many centuries, shaped by Jewish dietary laws (kashrut) and the economics, agriculture, and culinary traditions of the many countries where Jewish communities have existed.
