Not for the fainted hearted but definately for the intrepid and fun loving. A group of BU Chabad students took the fields for paint balling. Tired limbs and no regrets is what was reported from the battle field.

In a student led initiative fifteen hundred Menorah kits were distributed at BU in the week leading up to Chanukah so that no Jewish student would be without... The kits included a Menorah, candles, instructions and blessings, a dreidel and Chanukah gelt.

It wasn't just huge celebrations Chabad threw for Chanukah on campus; there were smaller, more intimate ones as well, like this one in the CIW community for happy residents who enjoyed the holiday spirit

Chabad Downtown was hopping with the Chanukah spirit. There was a Chanukah party at the Chabad House, dozens and dozens of home made donuts delivered with love to houses in the 'hood , as well as smaller parties in some of those houses enjoyed by the brothers with Rabbi Chein.
