With Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow Scotland in less than three months time L’Chaim’s is gearing itself for a large influx of summer tourists and games spectators. The Games will be held from 23 July — 3 August 2014.
L’Chaim’s-Lubavitch Restaurant is the recommended Kosher Restaurant and Kosher food supplier during the games and is the ONLY Kosher Eatery currently open in Scotland.
“The restaurant has passed all expectations” said Rabbi Jacobs, we are bursting by the seams and really need larger premises especially a larger kitchen. We have welcomed thousands of people to the restaurant and Lunchtime Cafe from all standards of Jewish observance and from all parts of the world. Because we want everyone to come and enjoy a kosher meal we have set up the restaurant as a gourmet ‘fine dining’ establishment where attention is given by restaurant manager Sora Jacobs, the chefs and staff to every detail and at the same time keep meal prices as economical as possible.
This will enable everyone to visit the restaurant and make it an experience to remember. The success of the restaurant is due to the very hard working shlucha Sora Jacobs along with her dedicated chefs and waiting staff. ‘I just love seeing Jewish people coming together and enjoying a kosher meal,’ said Sora.
By public demand the restaurant activities have been expanded to include a Lunchtime Café three days a week, L’Chaim’s Kosher Catering department which caters large weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and other events, a Kosher Wine Shop selling over 25 types of Kosher Wine and a department helping people visiting Scotland plan their trip especially to Whiskey Distilleries, Golf Courses and places of general interest.
When you walk into L’Chaim’s Restaurant you are invited to dine in one of the two candle-lit dining rooms each with their own decorative ambiance.
Once seated, freshly baked French Baguettes are brought to your table and the experience of first class cuisine in trendy surroundings begins. Tables are covered in burgundy and cream cloths and all meals are served on modern square plates along with Kings cutlery and crystal glasses.
Recently new items have been added to the choice menu to include Traditional Chicken Soup and Knaydels (Matza Balls), Roast Beef, Chicken Wings in Barbeque Sauce, Stuffed Peppers, and calorie free desserts Crumble with Parev Custard and Hot Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Sauce.
L'Chaim's has a wine licence and you can experience a choice of 20 popular Kosher wines.

Our new Chabad center established in the Himalayan mountains is only accessible via helicopter, motorcycle and horseback.
Six months ago, George Abboudi, a 22-year-old from Leeds, died while hiking through the Annapurna Conservation Area, in the north of the country. Rabbi Chezki Lifshitz of Chabad Nepal was central to the efforts to find Abboudi when he went missing.
After his death, his parents and friends gathered in Kathmandu, Nepal to celebrate the completion of a new Torah scroll written in his memory. The emotional event was the first time a hachnosas sefer Torah celebration was held in the country.
"The Torah is now in the place that George loved, where he spent much of his life," said Rabbi Lifshitz. "George's spirit will live on through the Sefer Torah."
This Pesach, Chabad once again welcomed people all across the UK to participate in a communal Seder night. With a lively atmosphere the story of the Exodus from Egypt was recounted with Matzah and wine. There were communal Sedarim from Bournemouth to Glasgow in major towns and cities including options for students on campus, families, tourists. There were even Sedarim conducted in Ivrit for Israelis. 
For many people, without the Chabad Sedarim they would not have had the opportunity to experience a Seder night at all. In Scotland over 100 people listened to Rabbi Jacobs as he conducted the Seder. Meanwhile, in Bloomsbury Chabad, Rabbi Y. Lew had over 131 people. There were also large Sederim held in Nottingham, Birmingham and Liverpool.
Chabad's dedicated network of representatives worked tirelessly in the lead up to the Sedarim ensuring that the events would run smoothly and successfully, providing guests with a welcoming and meaningful experience that they would remember for years to come. 
It’s past 11 o’clock at night at the Chabad House in Kathmandu, Nepal, and a calm breeze passes through the Jewish center’s courtyard. Rabbi Chezky Lifshitz is wrapping up a Torah class he has been giving to 30 Israelis, and a few more sit about chatting. Although a serene quietness envelopes this Himalayan Chabad House, it is less than a week before Passover and Lifshitz still does not have all the supplies necessary to ensure that Kathmandu’s iconic Seder – along with three others held in other parts of the country – can take place.
“We are still hoping to get the shipment, but it usually takes more than two weeks for it to arrive here from the port,” explains Lifshitz, who together with his wife Chani have served as Chabad emissaries in Kathmandu since 1999. “If we have two drivers and they drive 24 hours straight and the roads are clear than we will have a small chance.”
“We need at minimum 1000 kilos of supplies,” says Lifshitz. “Many kinds of people have been bringing supplies with them; students, backpackers, people from kibbutzim, it is amazing. Rabbi [Yosef Chaim] Kantor [Chabad emissary in Bangkok, Thailand] has been helping us a lot, sending supplies with people who are in Thailand and travelling here.”
