Rebbetzin Chanie Wolff The Central Synagogue

In this Pesach edition, Rebbetzin Chanie Wolff invited her soulful sister, Rebbetzin Sarah Refson, to submit a Passover recipe that consistently wows the crowds in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. And she delivered! As co-Director for the Center for Jewish Life at the Chabad of Charleston, South Carolina, she knows first-hand that it is a truly active Jewish space across all age demographics and yes, locals appreciate a fleishig feast.

Enter: Rabbi Yossi and Sarah Refson.

When the pandemic commenced early 2020, Pesach was fast approaching and the Refsons, along with their team of vivacious volunteers devised novel ways to bring Pesach to the people. We’re talking about the compilation of Pesachto-go boxes replete with separate ‘dry’ and ‘wet’ essential Passover products. Each included a Seder plate, Haggadah, charoset, matzah ball soup, gefilte fish, potato kugel and also this famous brisket –all in need received (that was 1500 briskets delivered pre-Pesach!)
