Washington Snowed-in by Worst Storm in Years
Children of Chabad House at the University of Washington directors Rabbi Elie and Chaya Estrin took advantage of a snow day to learn about music with visiting scholar and musician Andy Statman.
With an unusual amount of snow – early reports indicated that it could be the worst such storm in 30 years – falling in parts of Washington, Jewish centers have canceled events and classes in the hope that all will improve in time for the upcoming Sabbath. But residents have taken the hassle in stride: Some in Olympia, by far the hardest-hit area, were out playing in the snow Wednesday and Thursday with their families.
