AMAZING TECHNICOLOUR SCOTTISH PUB CRAWL

The streets of Edinburgh blazed in neon on Saturday as the local university’s JSoc united with the campus LGBT Society for a technicolour-themed havdalah service and pub crawl. JSoc's social secretary Emma Dubin hailed a triumphant evening: “Both societies came out decked to the nines. We had a fabulous time – and the pub landlords were pretty delighted too.”

Cambridge JSoc was seeing stars and stripes on Shabbat when Camp America took over its Friday night dinner. A speaker came to tell guests about the company’s work — hiring helpers to work in Stateside summer camps — and also offered a big bucks contribution to the cash prize raffle. According to JSoc president Josh Goodman: “It was a great success. We invited President Obama but he found out we don’t serve kneidlach and refused to come. Rumour has it he loves traditional chicken soup.”
