The Wedding We Have Been Waiting For!

Many of us are looking forward to attending Lori and Yochanan's Wedding tonight in Teaneck. I for one know that he is hoping many of us will show up promptly @ 6pm. Some of us are invited to attend the reception and Chuppah while others will be staying for dinner and dancing. Yochanan has even suggested some of us can come early, grab a bite somewhere in Teaneck, and then come back for the simcha of dancing at his wedding!

Aryeh, happened to call me while I was composing this little email/newsletter and told me that because he can not get off work early, he needs a ride to the dancing portion of the wedding. He would like to leave from Passaic somewhere around 8:30pm to get there on time. Any ideas or offers can go to him directly.


Sincerely,
Aharon Moshe (Stephen) Sanders

Mazel Tov to Yochanan.

I guess we should announce such events as weddings right here, even though I am sure that the Passaic chevra already knows. Looking forward to the wedding on Wed. Also when I last spoke with David L. Beyond BT,he was looking to close out the Shabbaton (Nachamu) by last Friday, however he said he was open to last minute guests.If interested I would suggest e-mailing him ASAP!

Dovid mentioned a shabbaton in Queens for singles 35 and up on NYM@yahoo, has anyone called, feel free to post here if you would like to share the info.

Once again Hatzlacha Rabba to all! May we all find our Zivug, speedily according to Hashem's will.

Shidduchim, the Dating Scene at Penn, and the Baalat Teshuva | Beyond BT - For Baalei Teshuva and Other Growth Oriented Jews

Shidduchim, the Dating Scene at Penn, and the Baalat Teshuva Beyond BT - For Baalei Teshuva and Other Growth Oriented Jews: "Beyond BT/SerandEz Shabbaton
Join us for the 3rd BBT Shabbaton in Kew Gardens Hills on Shabbos Nachamu, August 15-16, 2008.

Please join us for a full Shabbos program including relaxed catered meals and personal thoughts on the themes of Integration, Inspiration and Individuality. There will also be a Melave Malka with the latest incarnation of the BBT Jam Band.

Low price of $50 per person - Family and individual discounts available. We will provide accomodations.

Email us at beyondbt@gmail.com to register."

I spoke with David Lynn (Chaim Lynn's brother) who lives in Kew Garden Hills. One of our original 17 single Passaic guys asked the usual questions regarding percentage of singles versus families, female to male ratio, Hashkafa etc. I was satisfied with the answers as well as all the additional details: All meals will be together @ the Shul, inclding a Malava Malka. Plenty of relaxed time to socialize and interact with each other. All included for only $50!

I believe the phone number that I e-mailed everyone which was for David L. (not Mark) was wrong (off by one digit). The first three numbers after the area code are 992 {not 922}. I told him that I would definitely go, and asked him how the arrangements with the Shabbos host will be handled. He assured me that it could all be done via e-mail, no problem.

I am sure they appreciate early registration, however David did say that you can sign up until the end of this week. They are hoping for a group of over 75 people maybe even up to 120 people, some Passaic residents have already registered, some people from West Hempstead, and yes people from Brooklyn!

Wherever anyone goes for Shabbos Nachamu- Hatzlacha Rabba! May we all meet our Zivug!
