Saturday, Jan. 15 -- Ice Skating, Location and Time TBA
Join TYJP as we have our much anticipated return to the ice. We are
currently investigating renting the rink so that we can have the place to
ourselves. Not only does that decrease the highly mobile knee-high
hazards, but it will also enable us the opportunity to play broomball on
half the ice if desired. In order to reserve ice though, the session must
be held after midnight.
Please RSVP to Erika ([EMAIL PROTECTED], 596-0377), ASAP if you are
interested and willing to commit.

Saturday, Jan 22, 6:00 PM, Pre-Jewish Film Fest Mixer at Satisfaction's
(Private Room) - Brightleaf, Durham 7:30 PM, Screening, Cup Final
Join TYJP at Satisfaction's in a Private room (It's only us) for a
pre-film mixer. Have a drink, dinner, or appetizer before heading to the
2nd Annual North Carolina Jewish Film Festival. There are many
performances and films, but we've picked Cup Final as it looked most
intriguing to critic-extrordinaire, Dave Kaye.
The film festival runs from Jan 20 - Jan 23 and includes 18 films with
varying titles, including There's No Such Thing As A Chanuka Bush.
Please RSVP for the consideration of the wait staff. Need info? call
Dave at 858-5607 or e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here's a short description of the 7:30 PM Screening: Cup Final.
An effort to reconcile some of the differences between Israelis and
Palestinians, Eran Riklis's CUP FINAL uses the cliche of a beleaguered
platoon with a POW whom they eventually come to accept as a fellow pawn in
the larger political struggle. The catalyst for this realization is a
shared love for soccer and a devotion to the Italian national team in the
World Cup match.

Saturday, March 18, 8:00, Purim Bash, Raleigh, Location TBS
Hey man it's a party for what happened to Haman. Don't know the story?
Don't worry. Purim features a costume party, much like Halloween and it is
the traditional holiday where people give gifts (Chanukah wasn't the
first). It is also the holiday of excess, cleverness, and silliness. A
major theme of the holiday is that you should be so 'drunk' so as not to
know the difference between "Blessed be Mordechai" and "Cursed be Haman."
How to achieve the appropriate level of drunkenness is up to you. Some
choose to become drunken with song, others with dancing. Others may
choose an easier route. It is all up to you.
Jews around the world will be in costume (of all varieties) for Purim.
While costume is optional, it is encouraged. We'll be having a
best-costume contest with prizes. TYJP will provide the hamantashan, food
and non-alcoholic beverages. BYOB.
Costs: Members - $2 with RSVP by 3/12 ($5 without RSVP and after 3/12)
Non-members -$5 with RSVP by 3/12 ($7 after 3/12 and at the door)
To RSVP or for more information, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call
858-5607.

Sunday, March 26: Hurricanes Hockey, 1:30 PM
TYJP invades the Coolest Game On Earth as we head to the new Entertainment
and Sports Arena in Raleigh to see the New York Islanders take on your
Carolina Hurricanes. Not only is the trip to the game much more
convenient this year, but the Islanders are pretty awful, so it should
provide a good opportunity to see the home team win a game.
We are exploring many options for discounted tickets. We are estimating a
cost of $16 each if we go with the family plan. However, we need to have
a firm count to ensure that everyone has a seat. Therefore, Erika needs
to have you RSVP and send her money by March 12 in order to ensure that we
can all sit together.
To RSVP or for more information contact Erika: ([EMAIL PROTECTED],
596-0377).
