Upcoming this Superbowl Weekend 2015 at Shabbos House:
THURS NIGHT 1/29/2015
“Soup-with-Love” is peeling and cutting lots of veggies and cooking up 4 big pots of soup (2 chicken, 2 veggie) to later put in containers to share with local seniors and others who’d appreciate a ready-to-eat homestyle soup. Also baking football Challahs with dough-stitching down the center for Shabbat lunch.
FRIDAY NIGHT 1/30/2015
Hillel dinner this week, first Hillel Shabbat dinner of the Spring 2015 semester. Rabbi Mendel will lead the weekly “Law and Order” class at 6pm before the Orthodox Shabbat services, and Hillel dinner follows at 7pm in Campus Center Room 375.
Dress the part for this Shabbat! There’s no dress-code for our campus Shabbat dinners, we like it best when people come as they are comfortable, but it will be quite cold out, hovering around zero degrees with windchills below, so be sure to dress warm.
SHABBAT DAY 1/31/2015
Minyan as usual, 10am at Shabbos House. Special this week is that we read the Torah portion of the Splitting of the Sea and the “Az-Yashir”. Lunch follows at 12:45pm, with the Football-shaped Challot, a twist on the Gefilte Fish that’s not football related, salads and Cholent and the works. We’re going to ask folks to share a favorite football/Superbowl message, lesson or inspiration. Think of something if you can!
SAT NIGHT 1/31/2015
This isn’t a campus event, it’s a communal event, over at the Maimonides School on Partridge Street, that a few students may take an interest in. It’s a communal farbrengen Melava Malka to commemorate Yud-Shvat, the 10th of Shvat, which is the yartzeit of the 6th Lubavitcher Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak in 1950, and the day our Rebbe assumed leadership in 1951. There will be songs, stories, informal sharing and lots of nibble food. 7:30pm at Maimonides.
SUNDAY 2/1/2015
Sunday Minyan Brunch plus Talmud. No football theme this year, sorry Patriots fans. Any Seahawk fans somehow land here? We’ll pray with Tefillin at 11am, followed by a nice Brunch and some Talmud study, with plenty of time to prepare for the game or watch any pre-game shows.
