The first Annual Hand in Hand Spring Formal dance took place on Friday evening, hosted by the Malibu Jewish Center and Synagogue. Pepperdine students and “Peer Buddies” from Malibu High and Palisades Charter High came out to share the evening. The night’s festivities also included a make-up and hair booth, corsage making, a delicious pot luck dinner with Patty’s Pizza, desserts and an ice cream bar. “The Wedding” DJ rocked the house, everyone was moving to the beat! Cantor Marcelo Gindlin said, “Nobody felt judged or self-conscious. They felt free to be themselves without pressure.”
