*keep in mind, we average 200 - 400 UF students at Friday night services and dinner*
Last night at services and dinner at Lubavitch, the rabbinical student who is staying with the rabbi and his family from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur to help lead services and such was wearing a washed out orange zippered hoodie with "Volunteers" across the front.
Every year we have rabbinical students come help for the High Holidays. This young man's energy puts all the previous ones to shame. He was singing, dancing, telling stories...totally getting the UF students excited. He told us that at the end of his lesson, he would teach us a new song. All of the visiting rabbinical students do this. It's usually a Hebrew song.
So...
when he finished his lesson, he said...
"Alright. Now for the song. It's very simple. Repeat after me...
"Good"
"GOOD!"
"...old..."
"OLD!"
"...Rocky Top!"
...silence (except for me, who will sing that for it's folk value...)
Turns out he himself is not affiliated with UT in anyway. But, his Brother-in-Law is Rabbi Wilhelm, who he says is the rabbi of the CHABAD/Lubavitch center there.
He was fun...
...and had a lot of chutzpah.
I have told dlb I hope one day to join him at the stadium, even if it's just to tailgate and absorb the vibe of a UF/UT game in Knoxville. Should this ever occur, I think Beorn and I will check out the UT CHABAD there on Friday night.
