context_section_description: Israel's two largest commercial bakeries are located on Beit Hadfus Street: Angel Bakeries, founded in 1958 opposite a flour mill, and Berman's Bakery, established in 1965 further east. In 1965, Angel Bakeries commissioned a Texas company to construct a 750-foot (230 m) pipeline to convey flour directly from the flour mill to the silo to the bakery across the street. Today this pipeline brings 120 tons of flour to the bakery daily. The invention, initially opposed by the Jerusalem municipality for being above-ground, won the Kaplan Prize for distinction in productivity and efficiency.
