The Rebbe and the previous Rebbe playing a game of chess.

Just a reminder that tonight is “Nittel Nacht” and the custom is that we don’t learn as to not be “adding Chayus”.

The Rebbe says in a Sicha that we shouldn't “waste our time” but involve ourselves in something like chess which exercises the mind or any other chore that needs to be done. And the Rebbe related a story in the Sicha where a Bochur would save all the sewing of the buttons on his cloths to “Nittel Nacht” to be productive in a “non Adding Chayus” way.

So good luck in those chess games!
