Chabad House Email Update: Aug 31, 2010

Welcome everyone, we hope the first few days of classes are going great. It was very nice to meet lots of new people so far, and for those of you receiving this email for the first time, welcome to our campus community! We'd love to see you again soon.

Tomorrow is our big Welcome BBQ (info below), Sushi-making for freshmen is Thursday (FREE & right on campus), and this Friday-Saturday is Welcome Shabbat. You are personally invited to check out the Chabad House, meet new people, and enjoy a delicious home-made dinner. If you have plans for dinner, feel free to stop by the Chabad House later in the evening for a special dessert buffet welcoming the new freshmen. Our only rules are: come when you can, leave when you want, and make sure to feel at home while you're here.

Finally, with Rosh Hashana coming up next week, we have two important things to let you know:
1) You are personally invited to join us. All of our meals and services are FREE and open to students, and within walking distance from campus! Friends are invited along too, we want all Jewish students to have a place for the holidays.
2) Please RSVP today on our website (www.chabadpgh.org), full schedule (locations, meal times) is up there too. Even though we welcome last minute RSVP's, your advance notice will help us best prepare.

Have a great rest of the week!

Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi
