That weekend took a whole week. Wow. I left Wednesday morning and flew to Boston (through Philly) without problems. I managed to pack for 5 days in just a carry-on (rock on). Wednesday night was Shmini Azteres, and we sang and danced a bunch (Chabad does hakafos (torah circuits) on shemini azteres), so that was fun. Thursday night, my brother ( Read more... )

In a week, hmm... Wednesday night through Saturday night was a 3-day yountif (holiday), the first 2 days of Succos, and Shabbos (Sabbath/Saturday/day of rest/etc). I was scheduled to read all the torah readings for Succos (both days, same reading) at the Chabad, but we didn't get a minyan Thursday. Friday though, we got a good not 11 and then one ( Read more... )

eh... again, i won't post everything because so much has happened, but here goes with the recent stuff. wednesday, i spent the night at the cjl for the holiday. wednesday night, all of thursday, all of friday, and all of saturday. i read the haftorah on saturday, and i think i've done it in previous years, but customs change from community to ( Read more... )

ok. i have fall break the weekend of october 9th, sat-tues, but that's the same time as sat's apparently. the weekend after is my cousin's wedding in nj, so i won't be here, and the weekend after is parent's weekend. the weekend before fall break, sep 30 (thurs) - oct 3 (sunday) is ideal, i guess. the main concern is b's friday schedule. it's ( Read more... )

Well, a lot has happened and I'm tired, so I'll just give you the rundown of my day today. I woke up around 9:15 due to my cell phone, which was my cousin saying he was sending me my suit coat that I had left at his house in White Plains, NY. I rolled over afterwards and got woken 15 minutes later by my alarm clock, ate some cereal, and went down ( Read more... )

special note: if you're planning to go to the beach today, please give me a call at home or on my cell if you get this beforehand. (prolly not too many hits...)

Tuesday was packed. I went to synagogue and met with the secretary, going over the brochure I'm supposed to do by tomorrow. After that, I went in rapid succession to the bank (deposited 2 checks), the DMV (almost got my absentee ballot registration, but didn't know my address/room number), the eye doctor's (got a year's worth of contacts), Sears ( Read more... )
