Manhattan Beer Distributors CEO Simon Bergson has announced today that he will be donating ‘mashke’ to Chassidic farbrengens in Crown Heights and at the Ohel of the Rebbe this week, as Chassidim prepare to mark the day of Gimmel Tammuz.
As they have done for the past few years, Manhattan Beer Distributors, the largest single market beer distributor in the country providing beer to hundreds of kosher stores and restaurants in the metropolitan area, has sold its Chometz ahead of Pesach, with the help of Rabbi Kalman Weinfeld, executive member of the Vaad of OK Kosher and current Rov of Beis Eliezer Yitzchok in Crown Heights and R’ Nosson Sternberg, a Lubavitcher businessman from Crown Heights.
Bergson stated today he that will be donating 400 bottles of whiskey and vodka to enhance the Chassidic farbrengens in honor of the Rebbe and for the merit of health and success for his family.
The mashke will be distributed in Crown Heights and a large amount will be brought to the Rebbe’s Ohel in Queens.
“Mr. Bergson’s parents are both buried just a few minute’s walk from the Rebbe’s Ohel in Montefiore Cemetery,” Rabbi Weinfeld told COLlive.com “This generous act of kindness will surely serve as a blessing to them and Mr. Bergson’s entire family.”
