Summer in the Orchard

When you put 18 college students under an apple tree and hand them a box of Hebrew religious literature, what can result but the beautiful tableau you see below you, soon to be winging its way to the mailboxes of proud yiddishe bubes the world over?

For your identification purposes, Jonah (Joinaleh) is at the top of the tree, Michael (Mikhl) is below him, Marissa (Jungle Jew) and I are on the branch below that, then it's Kaile, Ava, Paul, Arielle, and Nick (Klaus), Jason in the chair, Christa, Sonia, Jay, Jessica, Rebecca, and Marika, and Jeremy and Rachel (Rokhl) on the ground in front of them. Look how excited we all are by the prayer books we are holding! Check out our fabulous acting skills! Look how Jonah gazes boldly into the future we are all creating! There is no propaganda here at all!

Inside the magazine, they managed to find a 50% unflattering picture of a horizontal nature.

That's Sonia on the ground, then Jeremy, Rokhl, and Jessica. The next row has Jason, Ava, Jay, Jonah, Arielle, Rebecca, and Marika, and the row behind them goes Marissa, Kaile, Christa, Paul, yours truly, and Nick. Mikhl, in classic Mikhl style, is standing at the very top.

And there you have the future. Enjoy.
