MOUSY teens spent part of their day off from school on Thursday making their own personal challah for Shabbat, while hanging out and schmoozing with MOUSY friends! And just for added fun, everyone made slime. Yes, slime! Whether this second recipe worked out or not, it felt good to play with it...and, of course, make a mess! And look who flew in from college on his fall break to visit his brother and former MOUSY mates!

Our evening enthusiasts enjoyed a lively musical Havdallah with Rabbi Betsy, the viewing of the film Shalom Ireland, noshing and schmoozing together with friends as a nice break, and listening to and interacting with MATC European History Professor Joel Ryan about the film and the relationship between Irish Catholics and Jews throughout parts of history. Finally, our midnight mavens participated in a spiritual and melodic S'lichot service led by Leslie Greenspan. Wishing everyone a meaningful start to the new year. Shana Tova!
