PURIM - ON-CAMPUS AND OFF!

Shalom,

We hope you had a good Spring Break. You are coming back to Purim!, which
begins Monday evening, when the Megillah is read and continues all day
Tuesday, when it is traditional to hear the Megillah again.

Following are the Purim options on-campus and off. Please note that on
THURSDAY, MARCH 16 - Hillel is having a Post-Purim Bruch called the "Purim
Groove." Details are below:

Our synagogue neighbor just down the street from Sullivan Center has
invited us to their annual Purim Party and Purim Carnival! (Remember
those goldfish in plastic bags???) They would love Loyola students to
come! Anyone who wants to go to Emanuel and walk together - meet at
