One of the last vestiges of Dayton’s old Jewish neighborhood, Rinaldo’s Bake Shoppe at 910 Fairview Ave., will close its doors on Sept. 14, the first day of Rosh Hashanah. Co-owner Anna Stolfo told The Observer that Dayton’s only kosher bakery would stay open until the beginning of the Jewish New Year to provide baked goods for its longtime Jewish customers. “We appreciate all the years of support, but it’s just become too difficult to keep running the bakery,” Anna said.

She and her husband, baker Rinaldo Stolfo, established the bakery in 1970. Anna said their son, John, recently suffered from a heart attack and won’t be able to return to work. “For us, it’s a well-deserved retirement.”

Hours from now until closing are Tuesday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.; and Saturday, 6 a.m. to noon. For more information call 274-1311.
