Every year there are less people that come to the simcha, It is not like it used to be, but it is still nice to have

What a treat it was when Rabbi Eli Lipsker was introduced by Reb Avremel Shemtov and masterfully played and sang an upbeat Chassidishe medley with gusto ! Ah Mechaya ! Refuah Shleimah Eliyahu Ben Malka , Yasher Koach !

Antipodal – “pertaining to the Antipodes” ie. the other side of the globe(Dictionary definition). I saw plenty of Australian and South African flags, but there are no “Antipodal hours of the night”!
Perhaps your bombast and grandiloquence are merely perportions of your self aggrandizement?

I think the Succah was discontinued in order to cut down on the mashka drinking which was a priority over 2 vendors making more money

Photos on Chol Hamoed

Please verify: I heard that we are not supposed to take pictures on Chol Hamoed unless its a “once in a lifetime opportunity”…

it seems every year there are less and less people

Increase in the number of photos later.
September 23, 2013 2:25 pm

In order to properly showcase the immense and boundless enthusiasm and impetuosity of the dancing, it would be highly advisable to increase in the number of photographs taken in the ensuing hours of the night, primarily in the antipodal hours when the atmosphere is one of intense exuberance.

there's no place like crown heights

I was there last night and the chayus and achdus which EVERYONE showed was just unbelievable.I’m definitely gonna be back tonight for more!

Food stands
September 23, 2013 1:38 pm

It’s very nice that there is a lot of food and food stands etc but there used to be a big sukkah on the corner of Montgomery and Kingston by chevra shas that is no longer there and to be honest the food vendors would make more money if they made sukkahs. I’m not even going to discuss the guy on the corner of Carroll and Kingston he is not even from the community and he’s making a BBQ without providing a sukkah for people…
