Young Adults at the Bursa Celebrate
CHABAD JEWISH CENTER OF PUDONG
The light of the menorah shined again this year at the BURSA - the Shanghai Diamond
Exchange Center. Many young adults that are working there and others, gathered to celebrate together the third light of Chanukah with songs, delicious food, and a great game of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'. Thanks to Erez Glicksman and the Arabov Group (shanghai) ltd. for sponsoring the event.
Do It Yourself It's so popular today to “do it yourself ” that businesses are making money by not helping you. Paint your own walls, check out your own groceries, fill up your own gas… Judaism is a “do it yourself ” religion. You put on your own tefillin, no one can eat the matzah for you, and the Shema you must recite for yourself! Even commandments that can be done through an agent, like building a Sukkah and preparing for Shabbat, it's preferred that you partake in the Mitzvah in some way or another. Judaism doesn't believe in bystanders or spectators. Everyone has an equal right and access to the Torah, and to maintain a personal relationship with G-d. Just do it!

Pudong Hebrew School - Sukkah Party
Building the Community Sukkah This
Sukkot is here! Students and
their parents had a fabulous time at the Sukkot party. They played Sukkah Bingo, which tested their holiday knowledge. They also made their very own Stuffed Torahs, and Lulav pens. Of course everyone had the opportunity to shake the Lulav &Etrog. A tasty lunch was then enjoyed by all in the sukkah. Thanks Sharon Perez, Tal Rahamim, Keren Glezer and Tali Gadot for cooking the delicious lunch.

Pre-Chanukah Cruise
A New Twist - Challa
Considering
that many traveled during the winter break, the Chanukah festivities began much before the actual holiday.
Mixing, kneading and braiding
is what all hands were occupied with. All the ladies mastered the many different challa twists, including baskets and napkin rings. Everyone came home with a personalized challa apron and a dose of recipes and tips.
A delicious buffet of all sorts of Challa
A talk on the origin and Mitzvah of Challa
Karin and Joyce knead away
Ladies enjoy their time together

The pre-Chanukah party was celebrated on a beautiful cruise traveling along the Huangpu River. The children were busy with Chanukah activities, while adults chatted and enjoyed the scenery. A fantastic game of "Parents and Children" was played with lots of laughter, and a Kung Fu show was enjoyed by all.
