Living, breathing faith

Despite the number of cooks in the kitchen, preparations to create a Shabbat dinner were moving smoothly. That's no small feat, and this was no small event - not just because the Mangels are a family with eight children, ages 3 to 19. At least eight guests were coming over, half of the children were returning from schools in three states to spend the weekend in Cherry Hill, and their parents - Rabbi Mendel "Mendy" Mangel, 45, and Dinie Mangel, 40, lead the Chabad Lubavitch of Camden and Burlington Counties.
