10/25/2006: Bnos Rabbeinu is happy to announce the date for their upcoming production in Chicago to be B'ezras Hashem the weekend of 7-8 Shevat, January 26 & 27. Since a number of airlines are offering cheap flights to Chicago during this time period, we are hoping that many mothers, sisters, alumni and friends will be able to come. Deadline for booking these cheap flights is Friday, October 27th.
NEW! Friday emails will now be delivered if they arrive before noon! Send the girls email for Shabbos!!

I'll explain it again and by next week we should see a description of the week's activities and special projects at Bnos Rabbeinu. Also got commitment to assign one of the photography course students to act as official photographer for each special event -- so we should see lots of web album photos this year! Spread the word.

Update on the Bnos Rabbeinu Production Feb 16/06 in Crown Heights...
Turnout was way better than anticipated, with the 600-seat auditorium filled to capacity. (Extra police had to be summoned due to a requirement for a certain police-to-crowd ratio.) The performance was certainly a success and was greatly enjoyed by all. Mazal tov, Bnos Rabbeinu!
