I can provide proof of the beard, but it's hard to provide proof of a negative.
Beard - before and after (or as they say on DDF: POIDH). For the milchigs we'll accept 2 עדים כשרים.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Why before? I never said I'm clean-shaven.

[quote name="davidmal" post=1578685 timestamp=1477195698]
But so sad no decorations up....
So many people decorate their sukkah so nice

I didn't have a minute between Ddf and scach 😉
Or if ur lebavitch no need for decorations!
(still not so clear why they don't put any).[/quote]

You could have abbreviated those two statements with: ישראל אף על פי שלא חטא, ישראל הוא.

The deal with chabad and sukkah  decorations: there are many reasons given for it here is one:
'שיחות קודש' תש"ל ח"א עמ' 129-133. וראה 'אוצר מנהגי חב"ד', תשרי, עמ' רסז.

You really are smarter than anyone! Baal Shem Tov and his students and followers,  Baal Hatanya,
well turns out  I made the silly mistake of thinking that what is written in the Shu"a character is meant to be taken at face value and therefore was nichshal in sleeping in the sukkah.

What are you? Some kind of neo-karaite? Don't you know that we're supposed to listen to our Rabbis?  ;D

Come to Crown Heights tonight for Simchas Beis Hashoeva (until about 12:30am tonight) and you'll get a sincere answer.
Drone footage for anybody that didn't show up and wants to get an idea :)

Wow
The non Jewish neighbors don't make a big deal about all of the noise so late at night?

I take it that according to you the author of the Shu"a Harav wasn't a Rabbi?

My Sukkah is open from right after maariv for as long as people will keep coming. First 20-30 minutes is expected to be crowded with a large crowd from Eretz Yisroel, they just make kiddush, grab a bite and rush back to 770 to get their places for hakofos.

Can we get an exact address?

What's Chabad ruling on inviting guests for Shabbas when you know they will drive?
"Not all who wander are lost"
