Happy "Challahween" from Cornell Hillel!


Speaking of Challah, this Friday evening, join us for a special Challah for Hunger Shabbat dinner, and vote for your favorite flavor. The winner will be baked and sold next week!  

But before that, on Wednesday we are so excited for Israel Runway, a fashion show depicting the historical development of Israeli fashion. There will be student models, Israeli food, and exhibits highlighting cities throughout Israel. It'll be an evening you won't want to miss! 

And next week, the sixth annual Big Red Bar Mitzvah is back. Whether you miss playing Coke & Pepsi, want to enjoy a mocktail or two, or just want to see Touchdown the Bear in a kippah, it's going to be an amazing night!

Challah for Hunger
Shabbat Dinner
November 4

This week, Shabbat dinner at 104 West will feature a special Challah for Hunger taste-test!

Each dinner table will feature traditional plain challah, as well as free samples of four new flavors to taste test! Vote for your favorite, because the winning flavor will be baked and sold the following week.

The best part-you get to choose the flavors! Submit as many suggestions as you would like, just keep in mind that all challah is made in a parve kitchen-so no meat or dairy. Challah for Hunger also does not use nuts in any of their challah.

Come enjoy an incredible party featuring a DJ, giveaways, Touchdown (in a kippah!), a 14-person photo booth, Coke and Pepsi game, a Throwback Hour, and free food!
All are welcome.

Whether you miss the Cha-Cha Slide and Shirley Temples, or you have never been to a Bar Mitzvah, this night will be the perfect chance to relive your braces-filled years or experience a Bar Mitzvah party for the first time! 

...But before that, please join us to celebrate two students who'll celebrate their B'nei Mitzvah with services and meals-more information on that coming soon.
