Highlighting the 18th memorial event honoring the lives of Pauline and Philip Piaker, was Ethan Bortnick, a 12 year old child prodigy who is an accomplished singer, musician and composer. Bortnick wowed the audience with a musical combination of classic, contemporary and original compositions. He further endeared himself by taking questions from the audience and responding extemporaneously with honesty, humor and wit. It was a memorable night indeed!

Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of meals were enjoyed over the Sukkot holiday in the Chabad Mega Sukkah ( that is not quite big enough!).
Students worked hard helping to prepare meals, set up tables, paint beautiful murals on the Sukkah walls and decorate to create the perfect ambiance and all the hard work paid off!

A Challah Baking session with Hadasa at the SDT house was one of the inaugural JEGABU - Jewish Greeks At BU - events. So much more coming!

A Sunday morning Bagel, Lox and Tefillin gathering at the SAE house was one of the inaugural JEGABU - Jewish Greeks At BU - events. Assisted by Rabbi Levi, many of the brothers put on Tefillin, and for four of them it was actually their first time (a sort of Bar MItzvah)! Keep your eyes peeled for more JEGABU events!

Girls getting together at GNO to honor month of Kislev had a blast creating "crayon art" pieces, a cutting edge craft project they will cherish along with memories of fun bonding at the event. Photos by J. Weller

An afternoon of fun was enjoyed by all who went on the annual paint ball shooting trip. Not recommended for the fainthearted!

A small group of students enjoyed a meaningful trip to the Rebbe's burial site in Queens, NY.
The trip also included a brief visit to Crown Heights in Brooklyn ,where they visited 770, Chabad-Lubavitch Headquarters --and by special arrangement were allowed entrance into the Rebbe's study--and other points of interest. The group also had the opportunity to meet with one of the Rebbe's personal secretaries and other aides.

My Big Fat Jewish Wedding was one of the highlights at Chabad this semester! It felt like a real wedding with all the food, decor, and costumes as we learned about all of the special customs of a Jewish wedding. Great memories were forged by all!
