Loaves of Love at UConn
Last Wednesday, Chabad, AEPhi and AEPi joined for the Loaves of Love program at UConn. Close to 60 sorority and fraternity members crowded into the small common room of the AEPi house. They rolled out the Challah dough, braided them and added some toppings. Everyone was invited to make “one to give away, and one to keep,” said Shaindel Hecht, director of Chabad at UConn. For many it was a first in Challah baking as Elana Quiroga of UConn puts it, “I had fun making challah for the first time!”

Chabad of Northwest CT dedicates Mumbai Torah
WATERBURY, CT [CHI] — It is human nature to seek the good in even the blackest of tragedies. One would be hard pressed to find the light in the four-day terrorist attack on the Indian city of Mumbai, which killed 164 civilians and security personnel last November, including Rabbi Gabriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, a young couple running the Chabad Nariman House that is now thought to have been the target of the city-wide attack.
In a letter sent home from schools, community physicians warn of a Mumps outbreak in our community. The note said that “although at this time seems concentrated amongst adolescent boys; we expect will spread further throughout the community.” The note goes on to explain what the symptoms are and how to go about treating it.

Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense in fighting
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees no sense at all
Sitting on a fence is a man who strokes his twenty beards
Sitting on a fence is a man who drinks real ale
But the real problem with this man
Is he says he can’t when he can
He’d rather not get his hands dirty
He’ll still be there when he’s thirty
I told myself to keep my mouth shut
But I still end up saying if and but
I lied to myself right from the start
And I’ve just worked out that I’m falling apart
Sitting on a fence is a man who looks up to his guardian
Sitting on a fence is a man who swings from poll to poll
Sitting on a fence is a man who sees both sides of both sides
Sitting on a fence is a man who looks down on opinion
