Zhenskiy Kloob

Chayale's womens club was a small success.

5 women showed, and according to Chayale, "the best part was the shiur."

From my vintage point of being in the bedroom watching several kids, I understood that the Torah part lasted about half hour to 45 minutes. Accorsing to Chayale, people were fascinated and lots of questions were asked (such as, "really? this cake WAS made with salt?"). But seriously, they didn't know the story of Purim too well, so Chayale had to recap.

Then the makeup lady gave them all tips on 5-minute makeup. They need that because they are all Moms. Then an entire makeover was done on one of the women. Chayale says she did an amazing job, but personally I cannot attest to seeing the result, though I did see a mannequin leave our house (kidding).

Chayale gave each woman a small makeup kit to take home, and as everyone was leaving, another woman showed up.

But luckily she wasn't into makeup, she just came by to say hello, so all was good.

When everyone left Chayale chatted with the makeup lady and bought some things, while I snuck in and ate all the remaining cake.

On a side note, something cute happened. Chayale had left a shaitel lying around in the room where I watched the kids. One girl, Mashe, saw it and started laughing. I had to explain her it was for Purim, then put it on and pretend to be a rock star, before I could sneak it away.

Other great news: at the kinus, they gave us a CD of all the Sichos and many English books! This means we can seriously prepare classes now, as everything comes in PDF format and we can print what we need, or at least read and learn, etc.

Boruch Hashem!
