A Look Back, A Look Ahead

No rest for the weary.  As we all bask in the glow of another incredible Mishmover - the biggest one ever!- we have but a few "waking" hours until Shabbos and Chanuka begin.  Yasher koach to Mrs. Kahan for her amazing shiur which had everyone captivated; Ms. Gordon for her awesome Batman session which had everybody talking long after it was done - and for sleeping over - thanks to Ms. Beiler too; the seniors for their chaburas which displayed the diverse talents of our student leaders, and provided a wonderful example for the rest of the school to learn from; Ms. F for her famous midnight shiur which I heard was huge hit as always (I had to go home at some point); the faculty who came & pitched in with sessions and "hang out" time (Ms. Wolf, Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. Feldman, Mrs. Knoll, Rabbi Prince & our annual midnight guest - Dr. Yaish); Mrs. Nadler for setting up the movie; the Torah Committee (Racheli, Daniella, Michelle, Allison, & Tamar) for making the whole thing happen; the Chessed Committee led by Mrs. Kraft for the awesome chessed project; and of course to the 100+ students whose inspiring commitment to Torah and fun brought about an unforgetable evening of learning and good times.

Going forward, after the ימים נוראים I raved here about YU's "To Go" publications.  The Chanuka To Go is available here on-line.  For those of you who have less time (or paper), this edition is once again highlighted by an article by our own Mrs. Knoll, that I can't wait to read.  She also delivered the most recent shiur at Midreshet Yom Rishon, which is available as well.  For those of you who want to brush up on the halachot of Chanuka, here is a good one.  And don't forget about Parshas Vayeshev.  Have a great shabbos and a wonderful Chanuka.
