|
Spiritual Salon - (3/3/2010)
We had another great Spiritual Salon, led by rabbinic intern Charlie Schwartz, where we discussed Matisyahu's song "Jerusalem".
With its distinctive reggae cadence, Matisyahu's song "Jerusalem" runs deep with biblical allusions, references to the Holocaust, exile and the hope of messianic redemption. In contrast, the video for "Jerusalem" beautifully depicts people from diverse backgrounds placing photographs on a wall, forming a literal Kotel of human experience. On an intellectual level, there is dissonance between the particular nature of the lyrics, and the universal themes
of the video, yet on an artistic level the video and lyrics hypnotically integrate with one another. This session examined this apparent tension between the video and the song while exploring how participants integrate their Jewish identities into the non-Jewish world around them.

Lunch of the Ivri's - (10/6/2007)
Well it was lunch of the hebrews which left me personaly unhappy as I happen to be the most identified Jewishly knowledgable philo-zionist who can't speak a lick of hebrew. I'm bad with language but everyone else has some knowledge even if it was only a few sentences. Abby and Nate and whats his face Joe taught everyone some words, mastick means gum, bayit means house (I knew this one before). It was fun though, a good time and its neat we started doing lunch on saturdays people seem to like it.

Labor Day BBQ - (9/3/2007)
Although I'm a student, Josh said I can still celebrate Labor Day, since I was employed in the past. Getting gift for Easter and Fathers Day would be a stretch though.

Tea Party - (5/19/2007)
we made and drank tea and then i got pizza. it was nice but people were confused when i told them we were only making tea it was my fault though. still it was nice to have some more new people come so it was kinda cool. we used coffee filters to hold the tea and took te spices and mized them and put them in the filters and stapled the filters. then people just kinda sat and talked for a while.

Shabat Grand Potluck Dinner - (3/23/2007)
Our aggressive advertisement campaign in shul paid off; for two weeks the Rabbi had been promoting our dinner in his announcements, and we've been mentioned in various e-mail lists. Our Myspace page got a few hits. We cooked extensively, with JR starting making cholent on Thu afternoon. Josh made a ton of meatballs, and I put out some tuna wraps right before shabat. At first we thought we had too much food, but there was hardly anything left at the end of the night. Guests brought wine, 7 or 8 bottles in total, and that was gone too! This was a very important event for us; before this Fri night, it felt like there was a perception of us in the community as being a small-time fish. But I think this Shabbat it all changed; we proved to ourselves and others that we can really throw a serious event

boardgamepizza night - (3/13/2007)
For some reason people don't think of chess when they hear boardgame. Other things like monopoly, and apples to apples come to mind. But with Vlad, a chess player ranked back in the day at 1600+, it was chess that dominated the night's conversation.
