Enjoying Chinese dinner and a movie turned out to be the perfect way to share a great time with AARC friends on Christmas 2014. Thanks to Mike Ehmann for graciously and efficiently coordinating a group of 33.
The Chinese dinner kicked off at Asian Legend Restaurant on East William Street about 5pm. That place was hopping, both when we arrived and even more so when we left about 70 minutes later. The dinner was buffet style, making it quick and easy to get firsts and seconds! (Appreciation goes to the staff at Asian Legend for welcoming our group and making everything quite seamless.) As you can see from the photos, there were plenty of smiles and lots of schmoozing.
In addition to Rav Michal and Jon and Sima joining, we had a fun surprise visit from our former Rabbinical Intern, Aura Ahuvia, now a Rabbi at Woodstock Jewish Congregation in NY.
Along with quite a few others, my husband Avi and son Gil and I headed to the Michigan Theater after dinner to see “The Imitation Game” about Alan Turing. What did we think of the film? Glad this movie got made, glad we saw it, though at times it seemed overly produced to be clever and even cute. Is it ridiculously geeky to wish they had revealed a bit more about code breaking and the way the bombe (the cryptanalytic machine at Bletchley Park) worked? Okay, I guess that’s what Wikipedia is for.
