BONITA SPRINGS, FL — Rabbi Mendy Greenberg pointed to two symbols on the package of frozen chicken he pulled from the freezer.

“That shows it's held to a higher standard,” Greenberg said, because two groups judge the product as meeting kosher standards.

Polina Olsen - Jewish Review

Rabbi Dov Greenberg spoke at the July 9
event commemorating the 14th yartzheit
of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the
late Lubavitcher Rebbe.
PALO ALTO, CA — Wondering who’s Jewish? Take a tip from Rabbi Dov Greenberg. As director of Stanford University’s Rohr Chabad House, he’s developed a foolproof way to find out:

“Sometimes I sit in the center of campus and try to meet Jewish students,” he explained. “I’ll ask, what faith community are you part of? If the student tells me he’s Mormon, I know the student is Mormon —that’s fine. If the student says he’s Buddhist, I know the student is Buddhist. But if the student answers, I’m a human being,” Greenberg said, “I switch to Hebrew and invite him to Chabad House for Shabbos.”
