HILLEL TREES, PIZZA & SHABBAT

Shalom,

This e-mail lets you know about the 3 special programs Hillel has this
week - 2 on Monday and 1 on Friday!


MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13

Monday is Tu B'Shevat, the New Year of Trees!  This is the time when,
traditionally, you buy trees to plant in Israel.  Although it is cold in
Chicago, it is tree-planting season in Israel.  The New Year of Trees is
one of the 3 "new years" mentioned in the Torah.

Hillel annually has a "Tree Table" in the Student Union Lobby.  So, join
us at this year's Tree Table for Tu B'Shevat!


"BUY A TREE-GET A TREE HILLEL TU B'SHEVAT TREE TABLE"

10 AM-2 PM - CENTENNIAL FORUM LOBBY

*Traditional Tu B'Shevat foods/fruits and nuts.

*Forms to fill out (Hillel will mail them) to plant a tree in Israel.
Each tree costs $18, and you can have the certificate sent in honor or memory
of whomever you want.  When you buy a tree, you get a mini-tree from
Hillel.

*Laura Siegel from Hagshama will be at the table with information about
Israel travel/study/volunteer programs.

*There will be information about Israel's beautiful land, trees and
commitment to ecology.

Stop by and celebrate Tu B'Shevat in the CFSU Lobby between 10 AM-2 PM.



JEWISH NUMBERS AND PIZZA!

Our second program on Monday is at 4 PM in Hillel -  Rabbi Zev Drutman's
discussion about "Gematria" - the Jewish mystic's study of the world of
numerology.

At Rabbi Drutman's last class, students requested this topic - so

"GEMATRIA - JEWISH MAGIC WITH NUMBERS"

Come experience the mystical side of Judaism with Rabbi Zev Drutman.

At Hillel - 4 PM - Pizza Dinner will be served.



FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17 - 6:00 PM - STUDENT LOUNGE, MUNDELEIN CENTER-1ST FLOOR

SHABBAT SERVICE AND DELI SHABBAT DINNER

Last semester was the first time the Judaica Committee organized a Shabbat
Service.  Although this is no longer a "Hillel first" - it is a "Hillel
second."

Join us at 6 PM for a Shabbat Service in the Reform tradition followed by
a delicious kosher deli Shabbat dinner.

Everything is free!  But, please let us know you are coming by signing up
in Hillel or e-mailing Hadeigh Vining at hvining@luc.edu.
