Nobody needs to declare in advance that they're running - just show up with a short speech prepared and enjoy the FREE DINNER! Candidate with the most votes wins. Location TBA.

4. Break the Fast with Hillel and Chabad! - Wednesday, September 26th at 8:00 PM
After a long day of fasting, come enjoy some bagels, lox, salads, and kugels to regain your energy. This year's breaking of the fast is a joint effort from Hillel and Chabad, but will take place at Chabad's new facility. It is located above the bookstore Novel Idea at 156 Princess Street, but please find the entrance on Bagot Street.

5. Interested in Film? Creating Claymation?
Our Israel Fellow Eliya Eizerikoyva has tons of experience in film and media, and would love to work with anybody interested on a short claymation film for Sukkot! Don't know what claymation is? Here's a good example, made by Eliya this year in the spirit of Rosh Hashana.
You don't need any experience in filmmaking, just the willingness to learn and have fun. If you're interested, please reply to queens...@gmail.com, or message Eliya, and we will find a time prior to Sukkot to begin working.
