Plan Your Week

• What do you get when you cross a biblical patriarch with an aerodynamic polyethylene disk? The AbraHammers.
  • If you are interested in playing ultimate Frisbee with JSU’s intramural team, contact Jeremy Rose at jsrose@wustl.edu as soon as possible.
  • If you are interested in playing any other sports this year, email Daniel Fishman at drfishma@wustl.edu.
  • Come cheer on The AbraHammers in their first match, the Sunday at 4:00 p.m.
• Going to Israel is cool. Going to Israel for free is cooler. Both Hillel and Chabad are running Birthright trips this winter break and registration is coming open now. For information about the Hillel trip, contact Marisa Reby (marisa@stlouishillel.org); for information about the Chabad trip, visit mayanotisrael.com.
• Monday Night Learning — Monday, September 14, 2009, 6:30 p.m. — Come down to Hillel for a free dinner and discussion led by Rabbi Carnie Rose of Congregation B'nai Amoona. The stress on that sentence is on “free dinner.”
• Jewish Cooking Club — Thursday, September 17, 2009, 8:00 p.m. — The Chabad Student Association invites you to Jewish Cooking Club in Mudd Kitchen, on the 40. No cooking skills necessary but come with a sweet tooth :)
