Rabbi Pickle: Shmuel Marcus

Putting You In A (Good) Pickle
Aside from the fun of making pickles, what Marcus represents is an expansion of Jewish thought through a savory medium.
There are health benefits, too, to creating sweet pickles or sour pickles, which don’t have the preservatives of deli pickles, but they’re dare I say it may be secondary to the cultural appreciation. If pickle-making is an art, then Rabbi Shmuel Marcus is a pickle Picasso.
