At Binghamton we don't mess around. Even when school is out for Purim, the Purim Carnival is still one of the hugest events on our campus.
This year, the 20th annual carnival was held in the event center with more attractions and rides than ever before. Everyone agreed it was awesome: the food, music, contests and fabulous prize drawings. Best of all? charity was raised to distribute to important charities including the rescue and rebuilding efforts in Japan.

In an afternoon celebration of deep meaning, passion and joy, four Binghamton University students celebrated their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs at Chabad's first annual Bar/Bat Mitzvah Bash.
Emily Mydosh, Mikell Senger, Anna Bitterbaum and Dan Lazrus each spoke movingly, giving personal context and dimension to their celebration of this rite of passage at this age. A lavish meal, spirited dancing and fun atmosphere made this an unforgettable affair.
Chabad is currently accepting applications from BU students who wish to similarly celebrate their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs in the celebration to be held in Fall of 2011.
