Hillel This Week

Shalom,

Now that our High Holiday programs are over, Hillel has planned a variety
of volunteer, Israel-related, cultural and social programs.  This week we
have two special Hillel activities:



WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18 - SERVE FOOD TO THE JEWISH NEEDY AT THE ARK CAFE

Meet at Hillel at 4:00 PM, you will be back to campus by 7:00 PM.

Help us help others at The Ark, an amazing social service agency in West
Rogers Park serving Jews in need.

The Ark Cafe is like a family dinner.  Those who volunteer help plate the
food and serve it to the guests who come to eat.  Volunteering at The Ark
is a true mitzvah.

The Ark is located at 6450 N. California Ave., just north of the corner of
California and Devon.  You can get there on your own and meet us at 4:30
PM or you can get a ride from campus, meeting at Hillel at 4:00 PM.

If you can help tomorrow evening, either sign up on the Hillel bulletin
board or email Patti Ray at pray@luc.edu.  Since this is short notice,
please try to join us, so we have enough students coming.



THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19 - "THE REAL ISRAEL" - 5 PM - HILLEL LIVING ROOM

3 Israeli college students, all having finished their army service and all
social activists in Israel, are visiting Loyola as part of a tour of
American college campuses.

They will lead a multi-media, interactive discussion on the ongoing effect
of the War in Lebanon on the people of Israel.

An Israeli dinner will also be served.

FOR WOMEN INTERESTED IN DISCUSSING ISSUES OF FAITH AND SPIRITUALITY

Loyola student, Mackenzie Shreve, has contacted Hillel to see if there are
any Jewish women who would be interested in joining her and other women of
various faiths for a discussion group.  She describes the goals as:

A small group for women of different faiths interested in sharing
friendship, fellowship, faith and maybe food, too...  The general
hope is simply to learn about faiths that are unfamiliar and different
from one's own in the hope to expand our personal community and be a small
example in a big world of how to appreciate each other's differences and
discover what we already have in common; I personally find that by
learning more about other's faiths I discover new insights in my own and
in turn learn more about my faith and myself.  We hope to see this happen,
too.

If you are interested in such an opportunity, please email Mackenzie
Shreve at mshreve@luc.edu.
