As you may have noticed throughout the evening CrownHeights.info was taking a little bit longer to load and navigate within the site, this is thanks to a crushing amount of traffic we have been serving this evening.
CrownHeights.info is the only news website with updates from the Kinus Banquet live, and readers all agree! We are working with our hosts to provide additional bandwidth and hope to have it all sorted out soon!
Tonight (Sunday morning) at 2:00am we change our clock’s 1 hour back to 1:00am, and gain an hour of sleep.
So make sure to change your clocks before you get to bed as to avoid any confusion (and being an hour early to everything).
A Gut Voch.
Let’s see… Aleph… Hey… Gimmel… uh, no, that’s not right. The Gimmel comes before the Hey and after the Aleph. Or is it the Aleph comes before the Gimmel, but farther away from the Hey?

Simchas Torah is primarily a Yom Tov which is celebrated as a family. Fathers dance happily together with their children and the Sifrei Torah. For this reason, there will be special Hakofos in 770 where children will be able to experience Hakofos in the Rebbe’s Shul. The Hakofos will only be on Thursday night, the night of Tahalucha. In order for this to proceed in a respectful way, please read the following instructions.
Avoid a parking ticket! Pay attention, alternate side parking regulations are suspended for Shemini Atzereth Sep. 30th (Thursday) and Simchas Torah October 1st, (Friday) but are then in affect again on Shabbos (October 2nd).
Have you seen a really cool or unusual Sukkah? Do you think you can get the most people to like YOUR Sukkah?
We’ve all been there, sitting in the Succah, when a neighboring family Succah bursts out in song with an energy that spreads to the nearby Succahs. The feeling of unity is truly warm and friendly, as the families, albeit separated by the walls of the Succah, unite as one with the spirit of Simchas Yom Tov.
CrownHeights.info has teamed up with the Super Spectacular Sukkos Fun Fair and we are raffling off family packs of tickets (set of 6) to those who submit family Sukkos photos!
In order to be entered in the raffle you must send in a photo, or two, or three of your family preparing for Sukkos by building your family’s Sukkah, or preparing the Daled Minim, along with creative captions.
