11-28-2005 [Hillel-at-Loyola] HILLEL THIS WEEK

Shalom,

We hope you had a good Thanksgiving break.  Hillel at Loyola is
co-sponsoring the showing of the film, "Crash," this Thursday and we have
our annual Chanukkah Party (this year a pre-Chanukkah party) next Thursday.
Wednesday is our final volunteer program, serving food at the Ark Cafe,
and we need volunteers for that.  These are our final Hillel programs for
the semester.  We have already begun planning for next year!

Please check the details about these programs below, and also check the
notices about the Hillel internship, cheap symphony tickets, etc.

We hope you will use these last weeks of school to stop by Hillel and say
Hi!



WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30 - SERVING AT THE ARK CAFE - MEET AT HILLEL AT 4 PM

The Ark, as its name implies, is a lifesaving organization for the needy
Jewish community of Rogers Park.  The Ark Cafe happens 6 times a month,
and we plate and serve the food to the guests who sit family style.
Serving at the Ark Cafe is a true mitzvah.

If you can help, please sign up in the Hillel or e-mail Patti Ray at
pray@luc.edu.

We need to be at The Ark at 4:30 PM.  You can meet at Hillel for a ride or
get there yourself.  The Ark is at 6450 N. California.  For those riding
from Hillel, you will get back to campus before 7 PM.



THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1 - 5:30 PM - CROWN CENTER AUDITORIUM - FILM "CRASH"

Hillel is one of the co-sponsoring organizations for a screening of the
cricially acclaimed flim, "Crash," followed by a panel discussion and
relfections on racism.  Alissa Melczer, Hillel Board Member, will be offer
one of the student reflections.



THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8 - HILLEL CHANUKKAH PARTY!/GIFT EXCHANGE - 6-8 PM

Our annual, informal, great food, corny music Chanukkah party!  We know
Chanukkah does not begin until December 25th - but we are partying early,
at the end of the semester!  We will decorate Hillel like Chanukkah is
here!

You can come whether you sign up for the gift exchange or not!

The party is at Hillel, in the hallway, etc.  We will just spill over
into whatever space there is!  The S'more Machine will be in the hallway.

The Gift Exchange works like this - Sign up to particpate starting
Tuesday, November 29.  Next Monday, December 5 - we will take all the
names that have signed up and put them in an envelope on the bulletin
board.  Those who have signed up, come in, pick a name out of the
envelope, and buy that person a gift that costs about $5.  You bring the
wrapped gift to the Chanukkah party, and we do the gift exhange around 7 PM.
The gift should be creative - not expensive!

You should come to the party, even if you do not do the gift exchange!
There will be traditional potato latkes, soufganiot (jelly-filled donuts)
and other surprises!
