Oh wow! What a great time was had the the 2nd Annual Kosher Chili Cookoff! The "Cha-BaD to the Bone" team of Chabad of Uptown was according to all accounts, the life of the party with music, mitzvos, dance and cheer for everyone! What a delight to see the crowd refreshing themselves with our free bottled water labeled, "Chabad of Uptown - Refreshing the Soul". We all participated in the laying of Tefillin on over a hundred men, many of whom were first timers! What an enormous mitzvah!! We raised over a $189.00 in the peoples choice awards directly to benefit the Berry Childrens' Trust. More fun and cheer can be witnessed in the pics here.
