 &lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS Italic;"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Killing Highlights&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1)Last night, at 10:30pm I received a phonecall from an unidentified number.  I answered the phone.  "Hi &lt;span class="il"&gt;Miki&lt;/span&gt;, this is Ken Grcich [Rodin House Dean]." the voice said.  He told me that he recently received a complaint from a resident about the prayer services we host every night in Rodin.  He requested that I come to his office to resolve the issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I called the two Gabbaim, notifying them of the situation.  Samy was in Rodin at the time, and he offered to come down with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way down we speculated what the minyan may have done to offend someone.  Could it be all the noise we make in the hallways after davening.  Perhaps it was the impromptu maariv we had on in the music lounge on the first floor.  We would soon find out...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we got down to the office we were greeted by a number of GA's doing what appeared to be administrative work.  We started walking towards Ken's office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Wait!" one of the GA's called out.&lt;br /&gt;"Ken said he was expecting one person to come down, not two."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was me that Ken called, so it made sense that I would go in first.  I told Samy that I would go in, make sure it was ok that he come too, and then Samy would join us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walked down the narrow hallway to Ken's office, passed through the doorway, turned towards his desk and saw Ariella Rosenberg sitting there with a gun.&lt;br /&gt;"Bang Bang, you're dead." she said quietly.  Colonel Mustard was defeated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) So my second assignment was to kill Reuven. I found out that he messed up his kill of Sarah earlier so I struck a deal with Sarah that if she helped me setup Reuven I would let her live until the next round. So Sarah texts Reuven to meet her in the 8th floor common room of Rodin and instead of her being there the plan was for me to be there waiting. Reuven was suspicious though and decided he needed an escort. On a side note, my roommate Shimon came with me to Rodin to attempt to kill Levi. Shimon was hanging around in the common room of Reuven's floor and Reuven by luck asked Shimon to be his body guard. Since I have an alliance with Shimon, Shimon smoothly slipped away when they got up to the 8th floor and I was able to kill Reuven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) As shiur was about to start, Rav Mordy asked Yosef to go get him sheets from his office. Yosef was a bit reluctant to go alone but the Rabbi was asking him so what could he do? When he got to Rav Mordy's office Chana (his arch nemesis from already 2 disputed killings) was waiting there. You can't even trust the Rabbi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Funny Emails&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Reported Kills&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Target name: XXXX&lt;br /&gt;    Target status: Neutralized&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Shots fired: One&lt;br /&gt;    Weapon: WEI DA-23 standard semi-automatic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Details of kill: Followed up on previous invitation for target to draw on agent's cast.  While following target to room passed through small enclave outside door.  Surrounding visibility was obscured.  Drew weapon and neutralized target with one head shot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Awaiting next assignment:&lt;br /&gt;    The XXXX&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) It was I, Colonel Mustard&lt;br /&gt;     In the dining room,&lt;br /&gt;     With a water pistol.&lt;br /&gt;     Next victim...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) I am now dead. If you want a good story- my assassin, XXXX, sat&lt;br /&gt;outside my room for over an hour. I cannot compete against that kind&lt;br /&gt;of outrageous behavior. There should be a "have a life clause," if&lt;br /&gt;assassins takes over your life you are automatically dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Psychological Warfare&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Sent from &lt;a href="mailto:callmebeepmeifyouwannareachme@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;callmebeepmeifyouwannareachme@&lt;wbr&gt;gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Ms. Tarlow,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a former staff writer for the DP, I was hoping you could start working on an obituary for Ms. XXXX.

OCP Banquet&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br&gt;       &lt;big&gt;On Motzaei Shabbat, November 14, the OCP will be hosting a semi-formal banquet and auction. Please start to think about any goods or services that you can auction off - are you an expert at editing papers? Could you offer piano lessons? A ride to NYC? All proceeds will be donated to charity.&lt;/big&gt;  &lt;big&gt;Get excited for the biggest social/ chessed event of the year!&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;       &lt;font face="Trebuchet MS"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;       &lt;td valign="top" width="50%"&gt;&lt;font face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;&lt;br&gt;       &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;       &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;br&gt;       &lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;Parent&amp;#39;s Weekend is next week&lt;br&gt;       &lt;/b&gt;&lt;small&gt;And so is the second annual OCP Melaveh Malkah.  Save the date (9/24) and have your folks rsvpasap to &lt;a href="mailto:pennocp@gmail.com" target="_blank"&gt;pennocp@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;!        &lt;small&gt;[save-the-date card is attached]&lt;br&gt;       &lt;br&gt;       &lt;/small&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;MASH Ice Cream Party, tuesday@9:30&lt;br&gt;       &lt;/b&gt;&lt;small&gt;All student mashgichim are invited to attend the first MASH-appreciation event of the year.  There will be tons of ice cream with crushed candy toppings, whipped cream, cherries, and bananas.

The course considers the Jewish enlightenment, Reform, Conservative and Neo-Orthodox Judaism, Zionist and Jewish Socialist thought, as well as Jewish thought in the 20th century, particularly in the context of the Holocaust. No previous background is required. Professor Ruderman is an amazing teacher and this course is highly recommended for anyone who is interested in learning about the contours of Modern Jewish History from a world-class expert.
