Shalom from Hillel!

Hi,

Your last Hillel listserve message came when the war in Lebanon was still
raging.  Thankfully, we are in some kind of ceasefire as of this message.
However, we still await the return of Israel's three hostage soldiers and
the hope of sustained peace between Israel and her neighbors.

As we prepare to return to school, there are two educational opportunities
listed below.  One is a reminder about our new class in Modern Hebrew and
the other is the registration announcement for the Maimonides Leaders
Fellowship.  Finally, a reminder about the new show of our favorite
beatboxer, Yuri Lane!

We hope you will stop by Hillel on Monday or Tuesday next week to say Hi!
Remember we are on the second floor of Mundelein Center.



TAKE HEBREW FOR CREDIT AT LOYOLA!!

After much effort, including a petition drive launched by Hillel at
Loyola, Modern Hebrew has returned to Loyola as a 3-credit class.  Now
that the class is being offered, we want to insure that it remains!

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn Hebrew from our outstanding
Hebrew instructor, Ms. Elana Daniel.

The class meets Tuesday and Thursday from 1-2:15 PM in Damen Hall and can
be found in the course catalogue under HEBREW.



MAIMONIDES LEADERS FELLOWSHIP

This will be the 3rd year that Hillel at Loyola has hosted the Maimonides
Program on our campus.  The Maimonides Leaders Fellowship has been a very
important source of the "basics of Jewish thought and practice" for many
of Loyola's Jewish students.

BEATBOXER YURI LANE IN A NEW SHOW!!

Hillel has brought Yuri Lane to Loyola in several different shows - "From
Tel-Aviv to Ramallah" and "Soundtrack City Chicago."  He is an amazing
beatboxer!!

"Making of Human Beat Box"

Live Bait Theater
3914 N. Clark St
Chicago, IL

International musical/theatrical sensation Yuri Lane believes each
person has an internal soundtrack. Through the art of the human
beatbox, the classically-trained Lane morphs into various characters,
generating a distinct soundtrack for each using nothing more than his
own body and limited only by his imagination. A uniquely urban way of
looking at the world!

773-871-1212 for reservations or go to www.ticketweb.com. Tickets are
