Adar Joy Helps Long Island – Turn Kirby’s into Pickles

MINEOLA, NY [CHI] — One of the most popular, informative and delicious workshops in Chabad history came to Chabad of Mineola Long Island.  The class was called “The Art of Kosher Pickle Making,” and it’s taking America by storm.

The workshop, led by Rabbi Mendel Margolin, AKA Rabbi Pickle, taught the history of the American kosher dill, how to make one’s own pickles, as well as what makes a “kosher” pickle. In fact, America was named after a pickle peddler — Amerigo Vespucci.

1. The first verse of this week’s Torah portion says, “And you will command the children of Israel that they shall take for you clear olive oil, crushed, for illumination, to light a lamp continually”. Our Sages explain that there are actually three grades of olive oil and only the first grade, the pure olive oil, can be used for the Menorah.

2. In classic form, the Rebbe now points out that this law regarding the Menorah must also have pertinent repercussions for our daily lives and service to Hashem:
