Converts are the best missionaries

[S209]

I can confirm they convert people. I was talked into this guy’s sukkah on chol hamoed . He was saying some kind of voodoo stuff & everyone would keep taking drinks. I don’t know what he spiked the drinks with but I haven’t been the same since.

Mordechai Lightstone's Twitter bio includes this: шнеерсоновщина
Google Translate says it's Belorussian, "šniejersonovŝina," and if you set it

What does it mean?

They don't sell them in judaica/grocery stores as "shabbos belts"?

If not, or if those are closed, you can get a piece of elastic from the sewing section in target or Walmart, etc. And tie it to clips /key rings /buckles of your choice.

Expert level: cut the elasticated waist band off a brand name pair of underwear.

What's the source of not taking in Shabbos early?
And how do you weigh that against kids being at the Shabbos meal or not?
