As XK celebrates its 21st birthday (of sorts), we also celebrate the return of the live hostages, the end of the holidays of Tishrei here at TST, and, of course, the release of the new album from Taylor Swift. We actually crown a Yom Kippur champion (no spoilers here), review the excitement of October 5 with the food drive, Sukkah building and softball bbq, and get ready for even more events coming up. We also celebrate the 95th birthday of Marissa’s Nana, learn some new things from Bereshit, and get ready for Rabbi Lisa’s class and Mussar kicking off next week. Stick around for a recording of the choir singing “Pitchu Li” from Yom Kippur morning and a next-gen audio track using an advanced model about the return of the hostages.
