the rebbe talks highly about davkah playing chess on nitel as it “sharpens the mind which can then learn torah better” (sicha of nitel nacht tof shin nun). it is really nice to see so many people doing something relaxing together in 770.

I. There’s a guy with a lit cigarette, a no-no in public places.

II. Why aren’t the husbands spending quality time with their wives on a night off like Nitel Night?
