Chatzkel the tailor wanders into a small flophouse late one cold and stormy night. “Quite full,” says the innkeeper. “Let’s see . . . we’ve got a Cossack in one of the rooms up on the top floor. You can climb into the bed beside him.”
Thankfully accepting the offer, the wanderer climbs the stairs to the upper floor, but not before asking the innkeeper to wake him well before dawn. “Got a train to catch,” he says importantly.
Before he knows it, there’s a hand shaking him awake. “It’s well before dawn,” says a voice; “your train.”
He dresses hurriedly in the dark and rushes to the train station. On the way he passes a large mirror in an ornate frame. A Cossack in uniform looks back at him. “That idiot innkeeper!” he exclaims in dismay. “He woke up the Cossack instead of Chatzkel the tailor. I’ll never make it back in time to wake myself up and catch my train!”

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.

The Rebbe says:
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:
