When I typed OCP into gmail, the first suggestion was ocpassassins09...
As a few of you may have noticed while escaping assassination, the Beit Midrash Committee has been hard at work and finally finished reorganizing this past week! Special thanks to Ezra and Adina Weinblatt, Ari Lustig, Becky Moses, Malka Fleischmann and Leibel Goodman for doing the Dewey. Also, do you have feedback about the new layout? Let us know by using the official OCP Suggestion Box! Also, do you have any books in your room that shouldn’t be there? Let us know by… no, we don’t want to know, just bring them back!
A quick straw-poll: Do you use the University City Eruv (click 1)? yes / no
Please note: The University City Eruv is entirely student-run. Students check and repair the eruv as necessary every single week. Suggested donation is $20-$30. Thanks!
