  1. “Chabad: Making kiddush on mashke on Shmini Atzeres night”

    This was not sanctioned by any of the rabbeim, as opposed to the rest of the minhogim you bring which were codified by the Rebbe in sefer haminhogim-chabad.

    In fact, the Rebbe forbade chasidim under age 40 to make kidush on mashke.
