- Chanie got back from the International Chabad Shluchos conference with over 2000 Rebbetzins, and Rabbi Chaim survived it! Luckily he remembered that Levi's diapers are meant to be changed at least once a day, even though it says on the package that they can reach 16-23 lbs., it is not recommended.
- If you read until here you deserve to hear this inside information: Rumor has it that this Shabbos, Shevat 27, celebrates eight years since Rabbi Chaim and Chanie married. Wow time flies!
See ya Shabbos!
