"It's going to be an unbelievable sight to see," said Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui of Chabad of Palm Beach. "Head to toe salami, baby!"

Yes, it's kosher; rabbi plans to light salami menorah for Hanukkah
Marc Freeman
A 15-foot-high Hanukkah menorah made of kosher salami? That's what you get from a Jewish deli with a sense of humor, if not tradition.
David's East Side Deli in Palm Beach Gardens will hold a public ceremony to light the salami spectacle at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, the first night of Hanukkah.
"It's going to be an unbelievable sight to see," said Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui of Chabad of Palm Beach. "Head to toe salami, baby!"
Chabad runs the establishment, 4580 PGA Blvd. Call 561-691-9293 or go to www.DavidsEastSideDeli.com.
The salami will be wrapped around a thin metal frame, topped with lettuce and bread, the rabbi said. Guests will be treated to free food and Hanukkah music.
If all goes well, David's may try to get the salami menorah into Guinness World Records next year.
Shor Habor, I'll bet…
Shmata,

Hasn't anyone considered that, after a few days, the whole thing is going to stink to high heaven?

Thank you for this relief from red. That was a horrific piece for this blog. Please let them stick to the hasidic feminist blogspot. And we can stick to our hot stuff right here.
Meanwhile, I wonder whose producing the salami. And I hope they have those small rye bread rounds with mustard to go along with it all.

MAD Magazine once had an issue called cutting the salami. The front cover featured Alfred E Neumann wielding a sword.
Maybe Ezagui should spend more time learning Tanya instead of comic books.

If I am not mistaken, his group believes the Rebbe z"l (dead guy) is really physically alive hiding in 770.
Is he eating the salami?

Shor Habor, I'll bet…
They're better off lighting it than eating it.

One day it will be remembered that during the severe and crippling recession and during the time of the KA$H-R-U$ scandals Chabad made a giant menorah of salami and hejustlooksdead rebbe coins in the wane of 2008.

shor habor, i'll bet
What an interesting insight! If we understand our festival of lights (and the light of the temple menorah and chanukiahs) to symbolically refer to the primordial divine light that is preserved for the righteous in the next era... and we understand the feast of the Leviatan and Behemot (aka, the Shor haBor, Ox of the Pit) as the cullinary allegory of this ancient desire for peace and revelation... then, should i take part, i'll take the vegetarian special, thank you very much.
I know how much many chabadniks like their meat and argue that it is synonymous with joy (!) but I prefer my light imagery untainted by the bloodshed and suffering of my fellow creatures on this earth.
Here's beckoning the golden dawn of a new age of peace, love, and creativity on this Winter Solstice :)
