A first, Kashrus Expo at the prestige Eton College in the UK
Tzivos Hashem visited Eton College, the school where the Royal Princes attended, to run a Kashrus programme.
This was part of their monthly Tefillin Club, organized by askan Mr. Mendy Tejtelbaum.
The concept of split hooves and chewing the cud was enlivened by feeling the different preserved hooves brought in by Rabbi Yossi Simon of Tzivos Hashem.
The basic halachos of kashrus were taught in hands on way, as the boys had fun trying to scrape off the fins and scales from a fresh fish and checked the eggs for blood spots.
Next the various size chalofim, explaining how the large chalef is used for the bigger animal and the smaller chalef for the chickens and halochos of shechita were discussed. One of the big highlights was the inflating of a lamb’s lung.
The real highlight was getting their teeth into kosher candy – a first for the Eton students.
At the end of the day, one student told Rabbi Simon, Mr Tajtelbaum and the head of Jewish studies that he wants to take on to eat only kosher. This was an amazing hachlota, for someone living in a non-kosher environment.
The programme ended with a number of boys putting on Tefillin.
WOW!
SO impressed and so dead proud of you as always.
Keep up the great work
Lots of love

Oxford Graduate here, having to blink two and three times while looking at the Rabbi putting tefilin on the Eton boy to make sure my eyes aren’t fooling me. Yes, there have been Jews at Eton for a long time, but to see Chabad spreading Chassidishkeit so openly and enthusiastically at such a heavily Anglo Saxon institution is Inspiring…
Always doing fab work!
Love Itz, MD & EBT!
Rabbi Yossi Simon you are always doing amazing work. You are a true shliach who never stops.
Kol Hakovod to Rabbi Yossi & Chanie Simon, great people doing great work.
