I have been very busy with my new job at the WUPJ and we are also starting to prepare for our Passover trip to the FSU. For those who don't know, we will be traveling with 35 other HUC students to the Former Soviet Union for 7 days in April. More on that in a moment...
Matt is extremely busy with his school work - less than a month until the semester is over! We are looking forward to his two weeks off in December and although we are not going away, we hope to do quite a lot of sightseeing around Jerusalem.
The HUC Runnin Rabbis are 2-2! They have had quite a season so far. Best in HUC history!
We are very excited for mom and dad and aunt teresa and uncle mark to visit in January because they will have the honor and priveledge to see the first playoff game!
It was hard to be away from the family on Thanksgiving, but we had a wonderful dinner with 4o fellow classmates. It was a great evening - full of American culture and delicious food! Aunt Sandie and Aunt Gail will be proud to know, Matt and I made pretzel jello!
We are going on another tiyul (trip) this week. Wednesday-Friday we will be going north to Haifa. We are really looking forward to the break of our routine and we will be visiting some very interesting places. We will take lots of pictures to post when we return.
So about the FSU - I am co-chairing the fundraising committee for this amazing trip. We have been holding local fundraisers, as well as preparing letters to send out to our hometowns to raise the money needed for the project. Please check out the website to learn more about the trip.
This April, 35 rabbinical, cantorial and education students will travel to the Former Soviet Union (FSU) to provide a meaningful Passover celebration for thousands of underserved Jews.
We need the support of our family and friends back home to help make this trip a success. Click on the link below to learn more about his year's trip and please visit the donation page to make a tax-deductible donation to the FSU HUC Project.
Thank you in advance for your support!

It was great to talk to you and read your blog. I mentioned to Darcy about high school temple and she told me I should've lied to Matt and said she was going!!! I told her I couldn't lie to a Rabbi.
