Midrash, Manicures, and Milkshakes!!!


Midrash, Manicures, and Milkshakes was a great success for the second year in a row! Even with more seating, over 100 people registered within the first 15 hours, and we had a sellout crowd.

This year, our speaker Mrs. Cortell spoke about Chanukah and miracles. She also engaged the audience with questions that allowed for audience participation. After the D'var Torah, the nail polish painting began. This year, we had a greater variety of choices for both the nail polish as well as the milkshakes, and we didn't stop making milkshakes until everyone had the option for multiple servings.

Once the nail painting was completed, participants got to eat pizza and socialize with friends. It is always so nice to see girls/women of all ages interacting and bonding with each other.

If you have any feedback on the event (positive or constructive feedback), please email me at bkugler@yise.org so that I can continue to make improvements to the program. Additionally, let me know if you would like to see Midrash, Manicures, and Milkshakes come back for a third year, or if you would like a different event.

All the best,
Brett Kugler
