11 Tishrei
After a beautiful morning Seder we gathered for a special Shiur given by one of chabad.org's "Ask the the Rabbi"; Rabbi Sholi Davidsohn. A very intresting Halachik discussion about our most precious possession - Our bodies; keeping it holy and wholey err whatever... Then we had lunch of baked ziti made by Mrs. Lipskier and may I add my unbiased opinion it was delicious!
After the afternoon seder most of us joined a nice trip of bowling and pizza as others continued to hold up the fort with limud hatorah in 770.
We were also lucky to have Rabbi Lipskier from Mesivta's father who is also Rabbi Lipskier coincidentally, farbreing with us it was full of Toichin and spirit no pun intended...
8-10 Tishrei
On Thursday morning we had the special Zchus to go to the Rebbe's Ohel. After a special introduction we all wrote Pa"nim and went in to the Rebbe. We then enjoyed a nice brunch at the Ohel.
When we returned to Crown Heights we had some time to rest and visit relatives and then returned for Seder in 770.
After Seder we experienced "Mendy's" for dinner, we were able to choose from assorted meat sandwiches. We then went to the upstairs Zal of 770 to watch a video of the Tishrei with the Rebbe on the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah and Erev/Motzei Yom Kippur. Kaporis was an amazing experience especially for those of us who did it 5 in the morning. The experience of Yom Kippur in 770 is indescribable you'd have to be here to know what I'm talking about but all I can say is; "It's as close as you'll get to the way it is described in the Seder Avodah..." We would like to thank all hosts who hosted the various groups for Erev/Motzei Yom Kippur, including the Kirschenbaum's, Greenbaums, Levi E.'s Grandparents, Areles uncle and aunt and the Karps. A Gmar Chasima Tova and Gut Yom Tov to all down there... wish you were up here...

Today was our first full day. it was a great nachas to see our boys learning on our designated benches in 770.
After Chassidus and davening and Breakfast we returned to 770 to learn Gemara on the topic of Yom Kippur.
We then all went to the shluchim office to hear an amazing shiur on "Teshuva" by R' Shloimy Kaplan, son of Rabbi Leibel Kaplan - the Rosh Yeshivah in Montreal.
We enjoyed a wholesome lunch full of calcium and carbs with a touch of sodium in the Shuchim office as we had the honour of hearing all about the shluchim office and shlichus in general by the co director Rabbi Moshe Shemtov.

Bruchim Haba'im
B"h all the boys landed safely and were welcomed by Leibel G and myself.
The boys were brought to our "Tishrei Hub" in the basement of the Greenbaum household who so graciously opened their basement to us. There the boys enjoyed a hot dinner of chicken, burgers, hot dogs, corn, and salad, prepared by the Kirschenbaums, and then dropped off at their kind hosts for their long overdue sleep... a guteh nacht
