Hillels Around Chicago Yitzhak Rabin: Analysis of Israel's Military and Political Leader Featuring: Professor Yoav Gelber Like few leaders anywhere, Yitzhak Rabin excelled in both military and civilian leadership. After playing a key role in uniting rival security forces, General Rabin built the strategic model that enabled Israelis to protect their re-born homeland from repeated attack. As a civilian leader, Prime Minister Rabin implemented the strategy that led to historically bold efforts to lift Israelis and their neighbors out of conflict and onto a path toward peace. Tues.

NorthBeach website Spring Break in Ukraine Change Your World The Hillels of Illinois is delighted to offer undergraduate students an exciting program �Student Mission to Ukraine�. This year 10 Illinois students will join with students from Kiev Hillel to bring Tzedek (Social Justice) to people with little Jewish experience and fewer resources. Students will volunteer, sing and talk with youth groups and elderly survivors of the Holocaust, kindergarteners and shut-ins, and meet people in communities who never had the opportunity to experience Judaism as children . They will spread the joy of Jewish traditions to Jews in big and small Ukrainian cities and villages. In preparing for the �Student Mission to Ukraine�, students will participate in a serious orientation that will enable them to represent the Chicago Jewish Community while they are in Ukraine, and they will also learn about Chicago�s Jewish United Fund and the manner in which the Chicago community responds to the needs of Jews locally, nationally and internationally. While in Kiev the group will visit Babi Yar and important Jewish organizations and sites. There is an expectation that �Student Mission to Ukraine� participants will play an active role in the JUF Campus Campaign at their school upon returning from Ukraine. The cost to students will be $550 (This will include airfare, lodging, kosher food, fun and many activities while in Ukraine).
