2 TD Reunions!

Here are some pictures just sent in from Esty Saklad (10-11).  She says....
"I have pictures for you of 2 TD Reunions so far. The first was from tonight at J2 in the city (this one was to say bye to Leah Rothman who's going back to Israel soon...)"

The 2nd one was in Lawrence at Jordana's house last Thursday night. It was supposed to be a pool party, but it was cold... we kind of just looked at the pool, but didn't go in it...
Thank you Esty!

The view from Rabbi Rosenstein's desk

(There are so many alumnae that want to join the shiurim that Rabbi Rosenstein has to use two computers in order to broadcast the shiur from two ooVoo acounts!)

What Are You Up To? Part 8

Reena Fried (09-11) is hosting a bone marrow drive for Gift of Life this coming Sunday, July 31st.  It is a drive to become entered in their registry to help save a Jewish life.  You are making NO commitment by registering and it is a pain free process (it's just a swab in your mouth).  If you live in or near the Baltimore area please make an effort to join and SPREAD THE WORD!  You ladies are amazing and I know that there will be an amazing turnout because of you.  I'd also like to extend an enormous yasher koach to Reena for taking action where it is need and making a difference.  Please see the flyer below for more information, click on it to enlarge.

What Are You Up To? Part 7

Tova Lazarus (08-09) has been away at Camp Simcha for the past two weeks.  She says " It was an amazing, amazing 2 weeks and I think that everyone in TD should know that if they are thinking about going they should try very hard to go. It will change their lives no matter what job in camp they have."   In addition to her life changing experience at Camp Simcha, Tova's brother got married.  Attached are some pictures of the simcha and Tova's beautiful nephew, Chaim Noach.

Don't they look alike?!?!
