[Avodah] [Areivim] nittel questions

1--was  it  agreed  previously that outside of all chasidim,  no other
community holds  from nittel?

I doubt that that is correct. AFAIK it was kept in Greater Hungary and the
CS talks about it - and he hailed from Fafdam.

who of course lived in countries where kratzmach wasn't known/observed.

>>> , OU, YU , MO, DL  communities  do NOT  avoid  torah learning  on that
night . .... when nittel falls during  chanuka,  do those who hold from it
do anything  different?  eg   light earlier, refrain from chanukka parties,
say no divrei torah at channuka  gathering  etc?
>>

I would think that 'Chanuka parties and chanuka gatherings' are generally
popular in "OU, YU , MO, DL  communities",  thus this would not be relevant
to them.

(No such issues here in Oz, where Chanuka is in summer and most kids are
already in pyjamas when the candles are lit...Especially with us who light
only after Maariv.)

(Who last night and tonight will be lighting the candles in Beth Chabad
Bangkok, And BEZH Wed night be'ir hakodesh Yerushalayim.)
