Lima, Peru — Two hundred kosher challah loaves are sold each week from Chabad of Lima’s newly refurbished bakery. That’s one loaf for every thirteen Jews in Peru. Chabad’s enviable market share is owed to the fact that it’s the only kosher bakery in the country. And because of Peru’s recently adopted flour enrichment regulations, Chabad’s bakery is one of few places kosher flour may be purchased in the nation.

Chico, CA — The glittering Xmas tree in Chico’s City Plaza was joined by another holiday symbol of good will — a brightly lit menorah — Thursday night.
“Darkness is chased away by illumination, by acts of goodness and kindness,” said Rabbi Mendy Zwiebel before he lit a nine-foot-tall menorah, a kind of candle holder, that had been temporarily set up in front of the bandstand in the downtown park.
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!
