Chanukah Bash 2011

28 Kislev 5772 December 24, 2011 • Events, Holiday

Wednesday night we celebrated Chanukah as a community at our annual Chanukah Bash. A big thanks goes to our Programming Committee and all of the volunteers who were a part of making it a great party. The lasagna and garlic bread were incredible, the Moon Bounce never loses its appeal, and the kids had a fantastic time beating the gelt out of the dreidel piñata! Kudos to Eli Pearl for busting it open and causing the piles of chocolate coins to shower down.

Please enjoy a slideshow of photos from the party.

And a video of the children with the dreidel piñata. [Update: the video is now successfully embedded.]

Lazer-tag: A SEED Experience

16 Elul 5771 September 15, 2011 • Events

by Yaakov Marcus

The SEED boys and members of Congregation Beth Israel enjoyed an exhilarating excursion to Laser Zone on Sunday, August 14. In the ensuing spirited battles of laser tag, the tension was palpable as each side dodged intense enemy fire while they cautiously made their way toward the opponent’s base. Both teams dueled heavily for control of the other team’s base and the individual contest of receiving the most points. The SEED boys were continuously astounded by the military prowess demonstrated by some of the members of the shul (they got the highest scores).

There were also many amazing arcade games which were thoroughly enjoyed by all those in attendance. Multiple lively rounds of air hockey were watched by several cheering spectators. This is just one of the many exciting activities we (the SEED boys) have experienced during our (too) short stay in this magnificent community. The kindness and warmth of this exceptional community and the outstanding experience of this summer will not fade quickly from our memories. We would like to thank the entire community for transforming this summer into something we can cherish and treasure for the rest of our lives.
