Rabbi Avremi Zippel was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, the eldest of 6 children of the Chabad's representatives to Utah since 1992. The only Observant Jewish boy his age for several hundred miles, Avemi was homeschooled through his Bar Mitzvah, and then left home to pursue his Jewish education. He attended Yeshiva in the United Kingdom, where he participated in Chabad's Outreach Missions to Wales, Denmark, Italy, France and Germany. He was ordained by former Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau, and moved back to Utah in 2014 with his wife Sheina, to direct Young Jewish Professionals Utah. In 2019, Avremi came forward as the first Orthodox Rabbi to disclose that he had been sexually abused as a child.

You never know when something many Jews may associate with old-fashioned Jewish fare, like herring and crackers, will somehow turn high-end and hipster.

One millennial, barely out of his teens, is putting herring out there for all the internet to see. And he’s got a heck of a story to tell. It all started in late 2014, when Queens, NY-teen Naftali Engel was in Israel for post-high school gap-year study. He spent some Shabbats away from his Judean Hills yeshivah with his brother who lives in Safed, the holy city famous for its spiritually creative enclaves. One Shabbat, Engel tasted a particularly delicious homemade herring, and, perhaps nonchalantly, asked the maker for his recipe. The answer he got was not quite traditional.
