A Conversation with Marika Feuerstein
On the Life and Legacy of Her Grandfather Aaron Feuerstein
“The Mensch of Malden Mills”
Exclusive Online Event
Aaron Feuerstein was the head of a successful family business that suffered severe setbacks after a fire destroyed his Massachusetts factory. He became famous for his commitment to the wellbeing of his 3,000 employees, paying them even while they couldn’t work, earning the nickname the “Mensch of Malden Mills.” But rebuilding came with challenges that ultimately cost him the company.
Marika Feuerstein tells the lesser-known story of her grandfather’s later life, and how the Feuerstein family regrouped in the wake of the fire. It is in the aftermath of devastation that his true life and legacy can be discussed.
Marika Feuerstein is the granddaughter of Aaron Feuerstein. Marika is a Boston native, and has been a top Residential Real Estate Agent. A true entrepreneur at heart, she started Keto bakery company, Sweet Finale, runs a non-profit, Purim Unity, where she puts on mega events for the Boston Jewish community, and is an executive producer on a new documentary called The American Question.
