- Over 30 young professionals packed the house of Club 1019 for the Young Adults & Professionals class called "Stump D'Rabbi" where participants asked questions about religion, life, relationships… you name it, nothing was off color or off limits!
- Thursday, 27 Shevat marks 9 days (or is it years?) since Rabbi Chaim & Chanie entered into the covenant of marriage on a brisk cold night on Eastern Parkway in NYC. Happy Anniversary. They are married. Just saying.
- Rabbi Chaim is still sore 30 hrs after anesthetic from a filling for a fractured tooth (and talks like he has marbles in his mouth?). Whatever....
