The event was opened by Adam and Anita Berkley, while Kids Corner was opened by recent Lubavitch bat chayil graduate Tami Rose.

Rabbi Moshe Rubin praised the work of Lubavitch and its drive to organise such an event to promote kashrut in the community.

A number of companies donated their products for tasting, while Whole Foods Food Market, Hello Deli, Grant's Smoked Salmon and Lochduart Smoked Salmon showed off their range of kosher food.

HOLE IN TWO: Two baigels are better than one for Chaim Jacobs

Guests enjoyed sampling L'Chaim's Restaurant home-made soups, latkes, chopped liver and salt beef.

Raffle winners enjoyed prizes donated by Whole Foods Market, Grant's Smoked Salmon and two couples enjoyed afternoon tea provided by L'Chaim's Restaurant.

Karen Levy led challah-baking, while Mindelle Greenhill ran Kids Corner.

Celebrity food writer Denise Phillips, Tzirl Jacobs and Rochel Jacobs gave cookery, baking and salad demonstrations, while the latest Really Kosher Food Guide and Rabbi Mendel Jacobs' official Scottish Jewish tartan was on sale.

The Expo was an educational project of Lubavitch Scotland and not a fundraising event.

The next Lubavitch events include a Tu b'Shvat Deli Night on Tuesday at L'Chaim's, a Purim supper and concert on March 8 and the Lubavitch communal seder on Friday, April 6.
