Who said the Guys are uninterested in some healthy fun and bonding? These guys are man enough to tell you they had a great time!

Very little can rival the enjoyment of creating one's challah from scratch unless it's the gratification that comes from knowing that one of those Challahs will go to someone whose day-- and life-- will be brightened by the gesture. And those uniquely designed Loaves of Love aprons were the cherry on top of a perfect -- and delicious -- program.

A large and enthusiastic group of volunteers has joined the Dr. Barry Raff Maasim Tovim Foundation this year and has been busy with hospital and elder care facility visitations, pre- holiday programs and visitations in which challas and honey cakes were distributed and flood relief efforts which had groups fanned out to work in homes and businesses that were damaged by the flood.

Chabad's services were soulful and accessible as university space was converted into a sanctuary for 26 hours. After the Shofar was blown, the evening service was held, Havdallah was made and then the assembled enjoyed a bagel and cream cheese break fast.

It rained and rained but we did not back down. Despite inclement weather we still managed to eat many meals in the huge Chabad sukkah and bring the Sukkah mobile and pop up sukkot onto the BU campus as well as SUNY in Oneonta, so hundreds could do the great mitzvahs of Sukkot while "on the go."

AEPhi sisters prepared for Pink Shabbat at Chabad Downtown. The braids and ribbon-shaped challahs were topped with pink sprinkles and tasted great! This educational and enjoyable event was in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Remember pining to go to a slumber party that was never as much fun as it was supposed to be? Well, the girls who came to the GNO Slumber party this month got more than they could ever bargain for: great breakfast foods and snacks, a discussion on dreams from the perspective of Judaism, a great movie and they even made clothes pin dolls!

24th Annual Salute to Jewish Womanhood brings Powerful women to Life
November 6 saw women from across the Jewish community of Broome County come together for a morning of friendship, education and inspiration. This year's program featured a fascinating dramatization of the lives of two remarkable women: Dona Gracia Nasi ( 1510-1569) and Gluckel of Hameln (1646-1724). Our very own Marcy Yonaty ( Dona) and Meri Pell-Preus (Gluckel) bought these women in the our hearts and minds in an absorbing and deeply impactful manner.

Chabad Goes Paintballing
What's strenuous, involves exposure to the elements and possible pelting but is loads of fun? A paintball trip through Chabad, of course which is exactly what an enthusiastic group enjoyed this past Sunday. Talk of another trip is already in the works.
