Eizor Galil Newsletter 3/22/07
Dear Eizor Galil,
We hope you are not too disappointed with the Shabbat Dinner cancellation last Friday night. When it comes to our activities, we would rather you miss one and come to the rest instead of getting seriously injured slipping and sliding through snow. :)
In any case, the Bogrim had an amazing experience this past week in Washington, DC on PANIM's Jewish Civics Initiative seminar! They learned about different forms of service opportunities and had time on Capitol Hill in which they lobbied their representatives. Everyone agrees it was well worth it. For pictures, see here:
