    We sang our amazing theme song andshowed them how much ruach and spunkwe have! But, we still remembered that "(BNOS) ACHDUS is our goal, and we'llachieve it!". Marc amazed us all, whileturning paper into real birds, grasping fire,

Of course we can't forget the half-time- Faigy Pollack and Chaya Sarah

    A WORD FROM OURSHIUR COUNSELOR:

    Since this summer our Shiurtheme is Tefilla, this week

    we learned about Hafroshas Challah, taking and burning a piece

    from the dough before making the Challah. We spent some time

    earning halachosof Hafroshas Challah- when to separate

    Challah, when to make a brocha, how much to separate we also

    discussed how when one is performing this mitzvah, he should

    daven, as it is an eis ratzon. We learned about Rebbetzin

    Kanievsky, AH, who would do HafroshasChallahevery week and

    we heard stories about different women who would join her, and

    whose tefilloswere answered. Enjoy the Hafroshas Challah

    magnets!

    Phelps had us rolling on the floor with their hilarious, cute,and awesome half-time performance- way to go, we're soproud of you! The load speakers were booming, filling us in,and the referees were blowing their whistles, and Bnos

    Achdus made the perfect cheerleading squad! What a fungame to watch and be part of! We all got yummy ices, and

    skipped off home, wondering what would be in store forWednesday!Wednesday- Mazal Tov! We would like to send our well-wishes to our new mothers in the labor and delivery ward ofBnos Achdus Birthing Center! Yes, Wednesday was noneother than Mommy Baby Day!!! Donned in various forms ofhead coverings, (including the latest style- bathing suittichels) each new mommy received a baby of her very own,made of a balloon and water! As baby-raising requires muchpatience, love, and devotion, workshops were held for someof our new mommies, where we held an open-forumdiscussion on how to properly raise our babies. We are still

    waiting to see just which talented BA-er will be able to keepher baby around for the longest! (weve already had severalpoppings this week!) Main activity was The Mommy MysteryGame as several (real) mommies were called and gave usclues to help us figure out just whos mommy they were!Thank you to all our co-operative mommies!Thursday- Thursday brought with it a whole slew of specialactivities first of all, in honor of 7/11/2013, we all hiked oveto 7-11 for each girl to receive her very ownSlurpee- YUM!
