FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 - 6:00 PM - MCCORMICK LOUNGE, COFFEY HALL

FIRST HILLEL SHABBAT DINNER

Shabbat dinners are free, but we want to know if you are coming; so we can
order the appropriate food.  Please RSVP to Patti Ray at pray@luc.edu or
sign up in Hillel.

This is a traditional, kosher Shabbat dinner that is organized and run by
Hillel's Judaica Committee.  This is a great way to be introduced to a
Shabbat dinner experience or to return to one.

For those interested, after dinner students will be walking to Emanuel
Congregation for 8 PM Shabbat services.  Emanuel is a Reform temple at
5959 N. Sheridan Road, only 4 blocks away.

Please note that due to construction in our building, this Shabbat dinner
and the next one will not be in Mundelein Center, but directly east in
Coffey Hall, McCormick Lounge.

Finally, please note that the next Shabbat dinner will be in two weeks,
September 22, and will be a Rosh HaShanah Shabbat Dinner.
