A Yud Shvat Farbrengen with Nightlife!

by Ashirah Welton for nightlife

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — Nightlife’s Yud Shvat Farbrengen was a greatly welcomed lifeline. From the moment that familiar e-mail popped up in the inbox, girls all over Crown Heights had plans for Wednesday night. Yud Shvat can seem like a “boy’s holiday” to girls living in Crown Heights, with the black hats swarming the streets, and even taking over that bastion of femininity, Beis Rivkah. A girl can feel a little bit lost in the sea of black and white. But with Nightlife’s amazing program, we had a place where we, too, could farbreng and connect to what Yud Shevat is all about. And thanks to the generous sponsorship of the CHJCC, the event was free. Yup, all the sushi, wraps, lasagna, salad and brownies one could want were on the house!

GOSHEN, NY [CHI] — Chabad’s Jewish Women’s Circle enjoyed inspirational and creative programs throughout the winter. One winter favorite was an uplifting and soulful concert with singer/songwriter Shoshana Bander of Brooklyn. The concert, “Listen to the Light” was enjoyed by over fifty women from throughout the County. “Shoshana intertwined moving and educational stories throughout her performance,” says Chana Burston, who leads the Jewish Women’s Circle and co-directs Chabad of Orange County with her husband, Rabbi Pesach. “Women from all affiliations and backgrounds came to enjoy the concert, and as we danced and sang together, there was a strong sense of unity among all the participants.” Afterward, all enjoyed a fabulous “lattes bar” and café themed desserts.

Yeshiva Enters the Information Age

By N Eichenhorn

MORRISTOWN, NJ [CHI] — A call rings out across the study hall “Yitzy! Hey Yitzy! Do you have that piece of Gemara figured out?”

“Yeah, I think so, here!” and Yitzy tosses a small, portable flash drive across the room. It’s caught by another student and promptly plugged into his idling laptop, which opens a file on the new program, Gemara Berura.
