Silver Spring Maryland & Shabblooween

I've done a lot of travelling in the past month. For various reasons I've been away from MHSS for a number of weekends up in New York and Baltimore. So unfortunately I was out of town the Sunday that we went to the Maryland Renaissance Festival, which you can hear about from other SS Moisheketeers.

I'm gonna talk about Shabblooween. How outrageous! Shabbat dinner with costumes, the friday night after Halloween! I'm sorry you all couldn't be there, because we don't have photographs during Holy-Sabbath-time, but there was Heidi the alpine girl, a fancy woman from India, an Israeli EMT, a man with a shrunken head, and more, all sharing food and song in our Moishetastic living room. We got to know some of the good kids from the local AVODAH (Jewish service corps) group, and we even successfully pulled off the first meaty Shabbat dinner at MHSS (with pot roast and delicious brisket) -- while still stuffing the vegetarians with non-murderlicious delicacies like Tomato-pesto Pastry rolls!

And the best part? I was dressed as Tom Cruise from that famous scene in "Risky Business", sliding across the floor in front of a dinner crowd of 20 (including 10 newbies) -- pantsless.
