Introducing Ezra Fischer
 Where are you from? Where did you go to high school?
I'm from Denver, Colorado and I went to Denver Academy of Torah.
What do you love about Jewish life on campus?
Seeing people put tefillin on while walking down the spine.
Do you have any siblings?
I have three older sisters.
What is your favorite book? Why?
Percy Jackson - there's mystery, action, adventure - what's not to love?!
Do you have a hobby? Why do you love it?
Basketball! I love it because it's something I can do alone, with friends, with strangers, and just have fun no matter what.
What is your favorite Jewish food?
Chicken Soup - classic Jewish answer, but in my opinion, the only right one.
What's your favorite Jewish holiday and why?
Pesach because I get to spend time with my family.
If you were a breakfast cereal, which one would you be and why?
Brown Sugar Quaker Oats Squares - they're underrated, sweet, strong, filling, nutritious, and dependable, plus they play well on their own and with others (AKA milk and fruit).
What's a quote or saying that you like?
One Day or Day One
What makes you proud to be a Jew?
When I see how respectful we are as a people.

Torah Thought

Parshas Pekudei includes “the account of the sums of gold, silver, and brass donated for the Sanctuary, and the account of all its utensils and its services.” First, an inventory was taken of the resources available, and then a reckoning was made as to how these resources were used.
These concepts are also relevant to our Divine service. First, a person must take inventory; he must know who he is and what he can do. Afterwards, from time to time, he must determine how well these abilities are being employed, and what he has accomplished with them. The sequence is also significant; awareness of the existence of one’s potential serves as a slight nudge, spurring its realization.

Best Purim Costumes:
Now that we are officially in Adar 2, it is more important than ever before to get ready for the upcoming holiday of Purim. While it might be overwhelming to figure out how to nail that picture perfect costume, have no fear because we have 5 costumes proven to help you stand out
Leprechaun: You’ll metaphorically carry your pot of gold (bottle of wine) everywhere with this Irish themed classic costume.
Shtark Guys/Gals: Ditch your baseball caps and ponytails for tichuls and streimels to showcase your humor and religiosity like no one else.
Onesies: Who said babies should have all the fun? Flex your funny bone in comfort with an elmo or care bear themed onesie.
Jerseys: The tried and true costume for those of you too lazy to put effort into a funky costume is a classic sports jersey. The more obscure the jersey the more points you get.
Inflatables: Whether dinosaurs, pigs, sumo wrestlers or anything in between, inflatable costumes are Purim costumes that never disappoint. They also guarantee increased elbow room which is always a bonus.
We hope this article inspires as much as it entertains and prepares you for a Purim like no other!
