Hey Rabbi!
It's Harlan. I don't know if my father told you, but this weekend I went with the Chabad of OSU to Crown Heights for the weekend. It was because there was this big conference of Chabads from colleges all around the country. Rabbi Zalman and Sarah asked me, and I basically said yes without hesitation.
While in Crown Heights, I noticed something. Because it was my first time in there, I didn't really know what to expect, although I did imagine a lot of Jews doing nothing but being Jewish and talking about nothing else. I don't know, but it did seem as if the weekend would be like a trip to any museum; seeing boring exhibits of 'old school' Judaism.
