Festival of Lights, Even When It’s Gray

From 5-7 p.m., despite the weather, Chabad will be lighting a giant Menorah on College Walk. Head over there for free donuts, cider, Menorahs, candles and other give-aways.

Update: Attendees were happy the rain had passed, and gamely fought against the night chill with hot cider and friendly company. The group of 40 or so were alternately chatting warmly, singing and listening to the rabbi tell the story of the Maccabean Revolt. It was a nice break from the books.

Happy Hanukkah!

QuickSpec: Get Out of Your Dorm Edition

fChabad is the new place in Harlem for singles to meet and “schmooze“.  Seriously, it beats 1020.

Coming soon in theaters, Checkmate at 112th Street. You never knew a bishop could be so dangerous.

Why don’t you just go to Africa and save some lives like our “celebrated economist” tells us to?  Phelps and Stiglitz are in the next room, kind of ticked off.

You can’t get into Barnard because of failed mercantilism?  Bwog is just itching to protest the Columbia-Barnard Free Trade Agreement.

All the world’s a stage!  Know thyself!  At least before you go trick-or-treating…

Holla at Challah (and Begging Bankers)

doughHaven’t seen this one before: Chabad is luring passersby with challah dough, which you can mix with raisins, cinnamon, and chocolate chips to bring home and bake for midafternoon deliciousness. The challah-pushers seemed a little crestfallen to hear that Bwog wasn’t actually Jewish, but we feel sure that Gentiles wouldn’t be turned away.

Meanwhile, the banging sound from College Walk comes from  the College Democrats, who are protesting the handing out of dough in much larger quantities: $700 billion to Wall Street. They want you to call Sen. Chuck Schumer to tell him to get behind Chris Dodd, who has put forward a plan to regulate the bailout — better call now, because the deal’s almost done anyway!

Blow that horn

shofarOn College Walk, right now, indulge your inner biblical hero and make a shofar for Rosh Hashanah! The good people at Columbia Chabad have a wealth of ram’s horns (and sheep and kudu and creatures more exotic) that you can drill and sand for free. If you like your creation, you can take it home for $7.00. Bwog was assured that none of the animals were killed just for their horns. 

“It gets a big hug right before we slaughter it,” added one shofar-smith, putting Bwog’s mind at ease.
