Bookmark and Share

This year’s senior class of Mosdos Ohr Hatorah in Cleveland, OH had 5 graduates. So at the goodbye party that the Junior class made for them, they chose to use a FIVEISH theme. They rewrote some of the Shmorg 3 hits to fit the occasion, and decorated the party with all sorts of Fiveish décor, including a Fiveish cake made by one of the talented girls. According to a participant, it “was the most smashing party ever!!”
