There are elite levels, unfortunately they are just gezhe or marrying a head shliach's child.
No status matching either.
What is gezhe? I'm assuming its yichus, but is that yichus to Lubavitch Chassidim or just Schneersons?

and there are many levels... although some of the very 'high ranking' Lubavitchers don't come from Gezhe at all.

Another local non-chabad DDF'er was shocked to find out that I was going to eat in the sukka in the cold and heavy downpour this past Thursday night.  Not fun!

On the other hand having to do all eating/drinking in the sukkah seems to be helping to burn off those extra calories from these 3 day YTs.

lol. respect.

The proof that you should eat in the sukkah on shmini atzeres is that there were torrential downpours while I was eating outside that day.

The rest of 3 day YT got much nicer as then we ate indoors.

It ain't always easy being a lubab.

NY also had downpours.

The biggest problem was the whisky getting diluted if left in a cup for a sec ;)

I was in LA for the first days of sukkos with a heat wave reaching to lower 90s.
was in NY for the last days and the downpour on shmini atzeres wasn't fun. I experienced both extremes ;)

Technically you should add some water to whiskey to better appreciate it.  Of course then you need to say more l'chaims before getting shikkur.

Ok, maybe not a heat wave, but it was really hot and sitting in the sukka wasnt too exciting.

Correct. But not the amount that was coming down that night.
And the cedar aftertaste isn't very nice...

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

@dhdata not all but many don't eat anything made outside of their home. Meaning no milchigs, processed foods, garlic, oil, etc...  really anything you buy in a package besides meat from the butcher.
