Chanukkah on Campus

Shalom,

Though this email is directed mostly for those who will be spending the
first days of Chanukkah on campus - on behalf of Hillel at Loyola we want
to wish everyone on the listserve Good Luck on their finals and wishes for
a Happy Chanukkah to you and your families.  We also want to wish a
"Tzechem l'Shalom" for all of our students traveling to Israel over winter
break.

The Hillel Board has already begun planning some amazing programs for next
semester - and we will also let you know of any fun activities happening
in the city over winter break.

CHANUKKAH ON CAMPUS!

If you live on campus and need Chanukkah menorahs and candles - beginning
tomorrow TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12 - you can just come into Hillel and pick up
a set.  They are a gift from Hillel and are on the Hillel counter.  There
are also some Chanukkah treats and information booklets with the
blessings, etc., as well.




IF YOU LIVE IN A RESIDENCE HALL AND WANT TO LIGHT CHANUKKAH CANDLES

Warren Hale, Director of Residence Life, and the Resident Directors have
asked that students light at the following locations:

Simpson Hall - individual floor lounges
Creighton Hall - first floor study room (off lobby area)
Regis Hall - lobby area study room
Mertz Hall - West Lounge
Campion Hall - first floor lounge
Santa Clara Apartment - first floor lounge area
Holy Cross Hall - lobby area lounge

They also ask that the students be present while the Chanukkah candles
are lit and remove the menorahs each night.  Student from apartment areas
without lounges are encouraged to participate in areas with common lounges.
