The festivities of this past Shabbos in the hosting village of the Winter Games – Whistler, British Columbia – were memorable. Tens of Jews convened at the exclusive Pan Pacific Hotel located at the base of Whistler Mountain.

Mike Flint, movie producer and participant of the past twelve Olympics, said, “Chabad has never had such a prime spot in the Olympics.”
