Pieces of Matzah and a wine bottle that had been handed out by the Lubavitcher Rebbe on the eve of Passover and Acharon shel Pesach.
Year after year, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, used to hand out Matzot and wine: before Passover he would hand out Matzah Shemurah and on Acharon shel Pesach, he would give all the attenders a little wine from "a cup of Beracha" of Havdalah.
On various occasions, the Rebbe had on his table small wine bottles, which he would usually give to his Shluchim, to managers of institutions and the like. On Acharon shel Pesach, he would hand out wine bottles. On other Holy Days (Simchat Torah and Shavu'ot) he would hand out bottles of "Smirnoff" vodka.
Before us are two items handed out by the Rebbe:
A. Pieces of Matzah.
B. A wine bottle (9 cm.) Condition: Very Good. Hermetically sealed.
