A. - The Opening Night Gala is the home opener for the team. A special VIP party takes place that evening. Details for the 2007 Opening Night Gala will be soon forthcoming.

What I thought was bronchitis actually turned out to be chronic laryngitis and I've been unable to speak for a full week now. It really puts things in perspective when one of your major forms of communication is taken away. I've spent the whole week signalling with my hands and my facial expressions and it's extremely frustrating when people still don't understand what you're trying to say. On the plus side, you simply have to let things slide and relax a bit if you get misunderstood. See similar questions...

The majority of the mail they receive is from people praising the move to Sundays because now more people are home to watch the show, as the record high ratings also indicate. Most die hard fans are used to the show being on Friday, and yearn for it to return to Friday, but the truth of the matter is that on Sunday nights the show gets more viewers, so the time slot move is considered a success.

Kabbalat Shabbat (welcoming Shabbat). We welcome Shabbat with Psalms 95-99, Psalm 29, the song Lechah Dodi, Psalms 92-93, and other songs that may be added. At Kol Zimrah, this is often the longest part of the service, with much joyous singing. Shema and its blessings. The formal evening service begins with the call to prayer (Barechu).

There is no real difference between these two nights unless we happen to be running a particular theme on a certain night. Other than that the best night is what you yourself make of it. See similar questions...

It is considered formal. Styles on formality have grown more liberal over the years, however. So, if you don't have a beaded gown, bring something nice and that makes you feel special. After all, that is what playing "dress up" is all about! See similar questions...

You should wear loose fitting clothing so you can expose the area that we will be evaluating and treating. For example, if you have a knee problem, it is best to wear shorts. For a shoulder problem, a tank top is a good choice, and for low back problems, wear a loose fitting shirt and pants, again so we can perform a thorough examination. See similar questions...

Yes. We prefer for you to check in when we're here and can give you directions personally and be sure you've reached your cabin, but understand that it's not always possible for you to get here in time. If you are not here when we close the office at 7:00pm, we can leave directions and the key to the cabin for you. We are out in the country~there is no such thing as cable TV, and plan on no cell phone reception. See similar questions...

We tried that. Most of our weekends are rented for weddings or large parties, so the caterers need to get in and set-up before the 5 o'clock start time. "The cake people need to deliver the cake around 3," "The decorator has to have access by 10 a.m.," "The DJ wants to run a sound test at 4..." I think you get the drift. See similar questions...

Unlike the daily school schedule requiring prior arrangements, reservations are not taken for the Friday night public programs. Seating for individuals or groups is allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Saving places in line for people who have not yet arrived is not permitted.
