Questions about religion, life, relationships… you name it, nothing is off color or off limits!

- Purim is also around the corner, and of course, Chabad of Uptown will have its annual Purim Bash to remember! Saturday night live will begin at 8:00 pm!
- Chanie is in NYC with Chaya Mushka. Chanie is attending the annual conference of 2500 Chabad Lubavitch shluchos and Chaya Mushka will be with over 500 girls at the simultaneous conference for young Shluchos.... The conference is held each year on this freezing weekend, because Shabbos marks 22 Shevat, the yartzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, wife of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
Therefore, this weekend we will feature a reality Shabbat entitled "Three Rabbis and the babies, Home Alone for Shabbat"!
