Our kosher for Passover matzah pizza party was a huge suc­cess, with 16 JGAPers in atten­dance, and lots of new faces! We cer­tainly ate like we just escaped slav­ery! :) A huge thanks to Aaron Atter­mann and Sloane Frost for their incred­i­ble pizza– and brei-making skills, and thanks to Aaron A. for host­ing this event at his apart­ment. Thanks to every­one who made it out tonight!

We had matzah brei with maple syrup, mar­garine, and mango and straw­berry jams. We also had deli­cious matzah piz­zas with top­pings vary­ing from green pep­pers, onions and mush­rooms to sun-dried toma­toes and even pineap­ple! Who knew matzah could taste this good?? Our atten­dees brought more wine than we could con­sume, salad, choco­late, and a num­ber of other desserts. Thanks Jean for the incred­i­bly deli­cious home­made kosher for Passover cake!

Stay tuned for more upcom­ing events. We look for­ward to see­ing you all again, soon, and see­ing more new faces in the future! As always, email  if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for future events. Chag sameach, and enjoy the rest of the holiday.

sederplate1Chag sameach! We hope every­one enjoyed their Passover Seders, whether they spent them with fam­ily and friends or at the Prince­ton CJL. We had tons of peo­ple at the Prince­ton CJL seders, and there were lots of dif­fer­ent fun themes. The choco­late seder on Tues­day night was par­tic­u­larly delicious.

To keep in mind for next year, seders are free for grad­u­ate stu­dents (with a Prince­ton ID), and $18 for young pro­fes­sion­als, which is very rea­son­able for the amount of food you’ll be eat­ing. As with all other JGAP and CJL events, you are wel­come to bring fam­ily and friends, but you must remem­ber to reg­is­ter everyone.

Around seven peo­ple made it for brunch, and most of us headed over to the indoor ice skat­ing rink at Mer­cer County Park for the after­noon, where a few more JGAPers met up with us.

We held reform ser­vices fol­lowed by a deli­cious milchig meal of veg­e­tar­ian lasagna. Atten­dees con­tributed kosher desserts, wine, and kasha, and Sloane’s home­made chal­lah was a huge hit, as usual. We look for­ward to host­ing our next JGAP Shab­bat din­ner, and more infor­ma­tion on that will appear here as it becomes avail­able. Shab­bat Shalom, JGAP!

Thanks for stick­ing around after Shab­bat din­ner on the past few Fri­day nights for our 3-part JGAP learn­ing series with Rabbi Sara Rich: “A Jew­ish Look at the 2012 Pres­i­den­tial Elec­tions.” Our top­ics were (Oct. 5) taxes and char­ity, (Oct. 12) the envi­ron­ment, and (Oct. 19) for­eign pol­icy. We read Jew­ish sources on these top­ics, and took a glance at Obama’s and Romney’s plat­forms to see how their views compared.

As with all of our events, all JGAPers are wel­come, regard­less of reli­gious or polit­i­cal views. This edu­ca­tion series has been a chance to learn more about the Jew­ish per­spec­tive on the big issues of this year’s election. Stay tuned for infor­ma­tion regard­ing our Spring 2013 edu­ca­tion series. If you have ideas for a JGAP class you’d be inter­ested in tak­ing or event sug­ges­tions in gen­eral, send us an email at .
