Gathering of the Exiles

The חברה gathered only a few hours ago for our premier שמחת בית השואבה, at the residence of the Margolis family, in-laws to our very own Art. The חברה in attendance included Art, Garth, Chip & Dale, Lenny, Timmy Tom Jr. III, Bob and Fred, on-top of a guest appearance from some of the members of the Stollel, Diller, Shneur Zalman, and the world-famous Mike Sohn. Other attendees included אלחנן שאול הכהן, Bernie, Brad, Doni Rawson, Elisha Saidoff, 'Nash the Bongoer, Randy, שמואל אהרון, מלך זימר, Reb Tzachi, Josh Schlessel, and David Solomon and Holy Brother Gidding. ֿThe night started off with a massive quantity of food being served, thanks to the Rebbetzin, which segwayed into a few נוגונים and a quick ריקוד. A תורה was given by Garth which led into more ניגונים. Of course the official Project Recharge ניגון, A Bagel and Cheese, was played, and taught to our guests. We were then privileged to hear some words from the Rebbe, Art and a very original thought from Dave Knoll. A strong ריקוד followed, with מעריב recited after its completion.

Of course Milgraum felt that the festivities needed some fireworks, due to the fact that we didn't have torches like they had in the times of the בית המקדש.

Milgraum couldn't overcome his urge to cannon-ball into the pool.

In the end a 'Texeria' time was had by all. We once again thank the Margolis family for hosting the event, and we look forward to many more gatherings over the next couple of months. Stay tuned...

Ed. Note: Stay tuned next week for a guest post by the חברה from ארץ ישראל about their adventures...
