Challah baking workshops with Hadasa are a perennial favorite at which BU students get to learn about the Mitzvah of Challah and mix, knead, shape and bake their own to take home!
Doing the Challah Twist is always a fun activity!

A great time was enjoyed by all the students gathered at the Chabad House on the West Side to enjoy an evening of Chocolate fondue, cakes, and desserts highlighted by a discussion on love & relationships; the kaballah of soul mates. A lively Q & A session followed the presentation given by Rabbi Dan Lewin.

The third annual ski trip to beautiful Greek Peak was a resounding success with people having a ball skiing, tubing and snow boarding. After lunch many students put on Tefillin (one student for his first time-Mazel Tov!), and a Minyan for Mincha was formed.
Nothing like having a good time with friends.

Tu B'shvat festivities where well attended and offered delectable food for body and thought. Participants enjoyed a wide variety of fruits and nuts, grape juice and an outrageously fun chocolate fondue while learning ancient mystical teachings concerning this Jewish holiday and the various fruits eaten on this day.
Participants also enjoyed Plantings and Edible Centerpieces; everyone had a blast making their own centerpiece and learning the basics of planting.

What’s more fun than eating good food? Cooking it from scratch with a gourmet cook like Yael Lewin, learning new kitchen techniques, taking in some laws about the kosher diet and tasting the fruit of your labor. Now that’s what you call delicious!

The Challah Baking Workshop with Hadasa at Chabad is always a fun time for all, but this time was just something else...
Participants (over 30) each made their own dough from scratch and learned how to knead and shape it to perfection.
This time students got to add their own topping, some added chocolate chip, while others did cinnamon & sugar, etc'. Everyone had a great time!

BU students & community members who attended the Jewish Crafts Festival at Chabad enjoyed an afternoon that was edifying, entertaining & just plain fun.
Fascinating presentations on the art of writing a Torah Scroll, Mezuzot & Tefillin as well as the symbolism of the Havdallah Ceremony and the history of Tzitzit and Tallit weaving were joined with workshops where participants had the opportunity to make their own Havdallah candle, sculpt a Mezuzah cover with local artist Bonnie Rozen, weave their own Tzitzit & crochet a Yarmulkah.
It was a unique event which twinned a treasure trove of knowledge with practical application and artistry. How’s that for a festival?

And for the BU (and community) women at the Chodesh Circle event to mark the month of Purim there was light and joy and much merriment as the inimitable Toni Grekin explained the power of massage and then gave women abbreviated massages while others enjoyed sampling the edible facial masks, hand softener and lip balm. Manicures were available and a Devar Torah about Queen Esther and delightful trifle rounded out the evening. Did you feel like Queen Esther that night?

The 19th annual Purim Carnival was a real hit! Close to 2,000 students rushed to the East Gym in anticipation of traditional & new attractions & the never ceasing Hamantashen...The Carnival-the largest student run event on campus each year-is spearheaded by Chabad together with Alpha Sigma Phi and Alpha Epsilon Phi & co-sponsored by a wide array of campus student groups, Greek groups & Residence Communities.Those wanting to be in the "action" took part in the ever-famous Pedestal Joust & other rides, while ravenous wannabee record setters challenged the hot dog eating contest. Thanks to all bands that showed off their talent & the organizations on campus. Photos by J. Munn & A. Kassimir
