Ta’anit Esther

Thursday is Ta'anit Esther. It also means that you don't have to deal with a rumbly tummy while listening to Megilla reading. Silver lining, people! The fast starts at 5:26 am and ends at 6:28 pm.

As such, Shacharit will be at 7:25 am, and Mincha and Maariv will be at 5:20 pm.

Mishmar will follow Maariv. Ellery is bringing special post-fast snacks, so you definitely don't want to miss out!

Peer Shiur is being taught by Rivka T. Cohen and Yoni D. Friedman on "Ethically Challenging Stories in Tanach."

Deadline for Mystery Mishloach and Matanot La'Evyonim. To participate in either/both, contact Avital Hazony.

Double Dare 2010

Think: Trivia. Physical Challenges. Prize wall. And a giant nose that you have to get flags out of.
It's a fundraiser for Relay for Life, a student-run event (March 26-27!) that aims to attract 2000 participants and raise $180,000 for cancer research. Mirroring actual Relay for Life, Double Dare will be both fun/crazy and meaningful, as we hear from several students who were affected personally by cancer. With performances by Chazzan Ish and the Shabbatones! We'll be selling tickets and signing you up for teams at Hillel meals all week. Or contact penntzedek@gmail.com for more information. $5 in advance, $8 at the door.
8:30 PM, Shotel Dubin Auditorium, Hillel.
