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.”

Kol Menachem Devarim Now Available in Hebrew!

Thanks to a collaboration between Chabad philanthropists Levi Leviev and Meyer Gutnick, the second Chumash with “Toras Menachem” in Hebrew rolled off the press this week, in time for Devorim.

The Hebrew “Leviev Edition” was adapted from the much loved “Gutnick Chumash,” bringing the Rebbe's Torah “outwards” to many communities beyond Chabad.

The current volume, Sefer Devorim, contains literally hundreds of Sichos, both in Nigleh and Chassidus, in a flowing, contemporary Hebrew, something that has long been awaited by Shluchim around the world.
