Shabbos is always interesting at Lubavitch House!
The food was good, thank G-d. We had plain gefilte fish, as well as the kind cooked in tomato sauce. (G-d willing, we will try Mrs. Katz's version soon) We experimented with mixed vegetables with couscous. Not a big seller. But the sauteed mushrooms with bowties was yum! Anshel's baked chicken was a hit as was his green borsht. Rabbi Friedberg (who, by the way, is not in London for a family emergency) brought really delicious kishka for the cholent. We hope he can bring us some every week! We had our regular desserts, but the best one was the chocolate layer cake. Can't beat chocolate and chocolate!
We are working on getting the air conditioning fixed for the lobby, but the rest of the building seemed comfortable despite the continued heat.
Two chassidim from Boro Park were in town for a class they are taking at the University. We had a Satmar couple and their adorable baby also visiting from Boro Park. We had the honor of hosting Rabbi Steiner, the shliach at the University of Minnesota. We were all so happy that Yitta and Baruch Katz joined us for Shabbos. And we were also so pleased that the Mishulovin Family joined us. Two of our wonderful Camp Gan Izzy counselors, Shira and Shoshi, stayed at Lubavitch House for Shabbos. We had some of our regular shochtim in attendance and an Israeli businessman and Evy, a plant biologist studying at the University. And three of our regular families, the Fellers, the Katzes and the Introlegators were also present.
THE REFRIGERATOR!!!!
Thanks to Mrs. Katz for finding our new refrigerator and arranging to have it delivered to Lubavitch House next week! And thank you to everyone who contributed to its purchase. We hope to buy smaller refrigerators for each wing.
Stay tuned for more giving opportunities!!
