Shalom,

As finals are ending, we want to wish a Mazal Tov to Katya Bayer, Hillel's

We also want to wish a L'hitraot (Hebrew for Bon Voyage!) to the Loyola
students traveling to Israel this winter on Hillel trips:

Frank Elterman, Inna Glatman, Masha Izakson, David Konstant, Jennie Lev,
Dennis Parad, Anna Rozman, Annie Shapiro, Melissa Suran, Hadleigh Vining,
Brittany Wagner, and Lisette Zaid.

Happy Chanukkah! to everyone and watch for special listserve messages over
Winter Break.

Schedules and first week of school

Schedules and first week of school

All Board members should make sure their new schedules are put on Patti's desk
so we can plan the first Board meeting for second semester.  We decided that we
would have food the first week of school.  We will have bagels on Tuesday,
falafel on Wednesday, and pizza on Thursday.

Have a wonderful break.

MAZAL TOV KATYA AND ALEX!!

We want to wish a Mazal Tov and Happy Graduation to Katya and Alex on
their graduation!  Hillel will not be the same without them, and hopefully
they will not be strangers to Hillel.

We send them our love.

Hillel

 

NEW HILLEL HOODIES

Shalom,

The new design for our Hillel hoodie is simply the word "Loyola" spelled
out in Hebrew and underneath in English the phrase "Hillel at Loyola."

The hoodie will be navy blue with white letters, and it will be a hoodie
without a zipper.  Each hoodie will cost $25.

To order one that will be here at the beginning of the semester either
sign up in Hillel or send an e-mail to Patti Ray at pray@luc.edu .  Please
indicate the size - S, M, L, XL, XXL.

You will pay for your hoodie when you pick it up in January.

Good luck on your exams.

MINISTRY PARTY TUESDAY NIGHT!

University Ministry is having its annual first semester party for students
tomorrow night from 8-10 PM.  We are having our Birthright Orientation
from 6-8 PM in the Hayes Room that some of you are involved in.

The Ministry Party is on the First Floor in the Student Lounge.  They will
have really good food, including our kosher pizzas, as well as music, etc.
It would be great if those of you who will be on campus can stop by, so
they see Hillel faces at the party.

I will also come downstairs after our Birthright Meeting.
