Kristallnacht/Final Shabbat Dinner

Shalom,

We just wanted to remind you of the last two special programs of this very
busy week for Hillel at Loyola.  Have a good weekend.

Today, November 9, is Kristallnacht, Night of Broken Glass, the day in
Holocaust history that commemorates the November 9, 1938 anti-Jewish riots
that destroyed the synagogues, Jewish shops and homes throughout Germany
and Austria.  We have invited a survivor of Kristallnacht to be our guest
and share his story at 4 PM.  The details follow.




THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9 - "KRISTALLNACHT - A SURVIVOR SPEAKS"

4 PM - MUNDELEIN STUDENT LOUNGE - FIRST FLOOR, MUNDELEIN CENTER

Mr. Ralph Rehbock is a survivor of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken
Glass, 1938.  He was born in Gotha, Germany and was in Berlin with his
family making plans to escape when Kristallnacht broke out.  He will share
his story of survival that will take us into the world that he lived in
and escaped from.

We will also have a special guest, Gregor Darmer, a German student doing
his national service, instead of military service, by volunteering at the
Holocaust Memorial Foundation of Illinois as part of the German program
Action Reconciliation Service for Peace.

We will have available on Thursday material about the 60 DAYS for 6
MILLION Project/Remember the Past to Build the Future.  This is a reading
project to remember the victims of the Holocaust by reading one short
esaay/day for 60 days.  Each short essay is by a renowned Jewish
historian, educator and philosopher.





FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9 - FINAL SHABBAT DINNER OF THE SEMESTER

5:00 PM - CARDINAL SUITE, FIRST FLOOR - MUNDELEIN CENTER - FREE OF CHARGE

Please join us for a traditional, kosher Shabbat dinner.  There is no
charge, but we do need to know how many will be joining us and if you have
any special dietary needs.  Please sign up at Hillel or email Patti Ray at
pray@luc.edu.

Since this is our final Shabbat dinner of the semester, we are having
especially great food! - Matzo Ball Soup, Brisket, Kugel and pies!

For those interested, students will be walking to the 8 PM Shabbat
services at Emanuel Congregation, 5959 N. Sheridan Road.

This Shabbat is also National Organ Donor Sabbath, and we will have
information about Loyola's organization to support organ donation.
