Abusive Jewish Dating Relationships

"WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE.....IT'S NO LONGER LOVE"

MONDAY, APRIL 24 - 11:00-12:30 PM - HILLEL LIVING ROOM


Hillel at Loyola and SAAG (Sexual Assault Awareness Group) invite you to
a very special program as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Week.

We will screen the video "WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE...." and then have a

gender/power dating relationships in general.

The discussion will be led by staff members of the Response Center.

We will also be serving a pizza lunch.

DECONSTRUCTION ZONE

"DECONSTRUCTION ZONE"

MONDAY-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24-26 - COFFEY HALL BASEMENT

MONDAY & WEDNESDAY - 5-9 PM, TUESDAY - 4-8 PM

A new tour begins every half-hour.  The entrance is through the Coffey
Hall back door near Madonna Della Strada Chapel.

"Deconstruction Zone" - a diversity awareness project co-sponsored by
groups across the campus - is designed to fight ignorance and racism
through education.  Participants move through a series of scenes
pertaining to different kinds of oppression.  The Coffey Hall Basement has
been totally redecorated and reconfigured for this project.

You should make every effort to "dare to enter the Deconstruction Zone."


GUIDES FOR THE HILLEL EXHIBIT

Hillel at Loyola's scene for "Deconstruction Zone" is entitled
"Anti-Semitism Then and Now" and is the first space students walk through
once they enter.  We need 3 students/hour to staff our scene and help
guide people through it.

If you and/or your friends would like to help be a guide, please sign up
for at least one 1-hour shift during the 3 days.  If you could do more than one
day, that would be great!  The sign-up sheet is on the Hillel bulletin
board.

Holocaust Memorial Day

YOM HASHOAH - HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY - TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 2006

As the many e-mails you are receiving make clear, this week after Passover
is a very busy one for Hillel at Loyola.  Included in this week is the
27th of Nisan on the Jewish calendar, the day set aside to commemorate the
6 million Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust, which includes 2 million
Jewish children.  After World War II, the world Jewish community tried to find
a day on which to set this commemoration, and selected the date on the Jewish
calendar that marked the end of the battle of the Warsaw Ghetto, one of the
great examples of Jewish resistance during World War II.

Hillel will have a YOM HASHOAH COMMEMORATION TABLE in the CFSU LOBBY from
10 AM - 2 PM on TUESDAY, APRIL 25.

We will have the traditional 6 yarhzeit candles, symbolizing the 6
Million, and there will be a display of literature and resources about the
Holocaust.  We will also be showing videos about the Holocaust at the
Commemoration Table.

We hope you can take a few minutes out of your day to stop by the table
and reflect on the victims of the Holocaust - the 6 Million Jews and the 6
Million others who perished.

Hillel Elections

HILLEL BOARD 2006 ELECTIONS

There is a new structure for this year's Board, which is explained below:



HILLEL EXECUTIVE BOARD ELECTIONS

For those interested in running for one of the 4 positions on the Hillel
Executive Board - President, Vice-President, Secretary or Treasurer -

kitchen wall by Thursday, April 27, 2006.  There will be a designated
space for platforms.

There is voting ONLY for these 4 positions.  Voting will be in Hillel on
Wednesday and Thursday, May 3 & 4.  Those on the Hillel listserve are
eligible to vote.  Votes will be counted at 6 PM on May 4.

If you are running in a contested election, you must sign up for a
Committee Chair as well.  Since those people will have already prepared
a platform, they do not have to write an additional paragraph for the
Committee Chair position they select.



HILLEL BOARD COMMITTEE CHAIRS

This year there will be only 2 chairpersons for each of the 6 Hillel Board
Committees.  The HILLEL BOARD will be composed of the 4 Executive Board
Members and the 12 Committee Chairs.

The Board Committees are: Social, Judaica, Political Action/Israel,
Communication, Citywide Representatives, Volunteer.

If you are interested in being one of the 2 Chairpersons for a Hillel
Committee, sign up in the Hillel Office and turn in to Patti Ray by
TUESDAY, MAY 2 a 1-2 paragraph statement of your reasons for wanting this
position.  The current Executive Board will select the Committee Chairs,
and they will be announced after the votes are counted for the elections.

In addition to the Chairpersons, each of the Hillel Committees obviously
need committee members.  Even though these are not Board positions, we
encourage you to sign up to be on one or more of the Hillel Committees.
It is the Hillel Committees that organize the programs that Hillel sponsors.
