    Weekend in the Woods Shabbaton

    The Hillels of Illinois Cross-Campus Program and the Israel Initiaitve on Illinois Campuses invite you to a spectacular WEEKEND IN THE WOODS at Camp Chi in the Wisconsin Dells.

    Camp Chi has stunning lakefront grounds, and our weekend will be highlighted by Maccabi-style sports competitions inside and out, great Shabbat programs, an "I Love Israel in the 80's!" Karaoke/Dance Party Saturday night, and the opportunity to meet Jewish college students from throughout the Midwest.

    We will stay in the Perlstein Conference Center with heated rooms and private bathrooms. There is also a huge sports center with a double gym and workout room. Transportation will be by carpool. If you play an instrument or sing or dance - we hope you will share your talents with us. And - if you bring 80's stuff for the Saturday night party, there will be prizes for the best look!

    Registration is online. Part of the Registration asks for roommate preferences, special dietary needs, transporation specifics (we will try to help with rides), help with Shabbat services, and talents to share.

    You need to register by March 29, though earlier would be better! Directions to Camp Chi's Perlstein Center can be found online with the Registration material.

    Holocaust Survivor Speaks

    Prof. Elliot Lefkovitz, who teaches Loyola's course on the Holocaust,
    through our Department of History, asked Hillel to extend an invitation to
    our listserve to his class this TUESDAY, MARCH 28 at 10 AM in DUNBACH,
    ROOM 12 (downstairs).

    The speaker will be Aaron Elster, whom Dr. Lefkovitz says is a "compelling
    speaker with an incredible story."

    This is an excellent opportunity to meet with a Holocaust survivor.  This
    has been a difficult year where media attention has been drawn to everyone
    from Arthur Butz to the President of Iran denying the existence of the
    Holocaust.  Aaron Elster's visit to Dr. Lefkovitz's class is the only time
    this year that a survivor of the Holocaust will speak on campus.
