Combining Taste and Tradition
This past Lag B’Omer, Chai Rotel
distribution was changed forever when renowned chef Pinny Freed
traveled to Eretz Yisroel to personally oversee the Lag B’Omer
preparations performed yearly by Tzidkas Rashbi. Caterer at
Renaissance Hall in Boro Park, Pinchas, a.k.a. Pinny, Freed remained
in the tent throughout Lag B’Omer, keeping an eye on the bubbling
pots and simmering pans while at the same time absorbing the smiles
and compliments coming his way. As word spread, more and more people
congregated around the free-food tent that Tzidkas Rashbi had set up
to sample some of the great food Pinny had prepared.
“All
the work was worthwhile when I saw the way those people who had
walked into our tent worn and famished walked out refreshed and
happy.” said Pinchas, “They were ready to continue celebrating with
their fresh supply of energy.”
This is the goal of Tzidkas
Rashbi, so why shouldn’t our goal be achieved?

For
centuries, Jews have experienced the power of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai’s
blessing. The tanna promised that those who increase the joy at his kever
on Lag B’Omer will be blessed.
People who
distribute Chai Rotel - 54 liters - of drink, to the celebrants, earn
Rabbi Shimon’s bracha.
Many great rabbis spoke about the power of Chai Rotel. Rabbi
Yehuda Leib Hornstein zatzal writes, in his Sefer Tel Yerushalayim, about
two childless men who were blessed with children after distributing Chai
Rotel in Miron on Lag B’Omer. The Kedushas Zion, Rabbi Benzion Halberstam
of Bobov zatzal, urged his chassidim to distribute Chai Rotel. And many
others spoke or wrote about the segulah*
Tzidkas Rashbi can distribute Chai Rotel on
your behalf - so you can reap the benefits of the segulah*, from the
comfort of your own home.
Tzidkas Rashbi fulfills Rabbi Shimon’s wish in a most beautiful
way.

Cold, refreshing drinks
There’s nothing quite like an ice
cold drink on Lag B’Omer in Miron. The sun, the crowds, the dancing,
drain participants – who throng to Tzidkas Rashbi’s tent to enjoy
your Chai Rotel contributions.

And comfort
Miron originally had only one decrepit bathroom. On Lag
B’Omer, the line snaked through the crowd. Last year, Tzidkas Rashbi
erected permanent modern facilities. For the first time in history,
visitors enjoy adequate, well-maintained facilities – a great
chesed.
