Mr Pickle is taking the fame extremely well. No notes, no diva behaviour, just a giant gherkin gracing the pages of the Guardian, the BBC, the Jewish Chronicle and half the local press in Britain. 🥒
From the Tube to the Gherkin (yes, really), our favourite vinegary veg has been spotted everywhere this Jewish Culture Month — and the headlines have been a big dill.
Swipe through the press he’s been pickling up 👀
Less oy, more joy. #JewishCultureMonth

📚On Wednesday, the British Library hosted a fantastic event for Jewish Culture Month. Storyteller Vanessa Woolf brought two wonderful folk tales to life: The Stolen Smell and The Feast by the River.
