More great Shluchim ideas

The Sefer Torah event with cafe Kovcheg, Kostya's place, in the background.


I'm loving these ideas for Birkas Hachama (blessing of the sun).

This is from corwnheights.info and vosizneias.com

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY [CHI] — Rabbi Hanoch Hecht and members of the Jewish community of Rhinebeck, New York will ascend in hot air balloons to Rabbi Takes Congregation in Hot Air Ballons.

Birkas HaChama (the blessing of the sun) is a ceremony in which Jews recite a blessing on the Sun as it returns to the place it was appointed during Creation. It occurs every 28 years and always on a Wednesday.

The congregation will set out to perform the cermony from James Beard Park in Rhinbeck at 6:00 AM, Wednesday April 8th.



Also, on the shluchim exchange, Rabbi Shemtov from Uruguay said he's having a plane fly by during the blessing, with a sign trailing it which says "thank you G-d for creating the universe."

Cute, huh?

P.S. We just found out that our apartment was opened so our secretary can remove some kosher meat and grape juice from it...
