At each building, the truck is met by a volunteer "building crew" which off-loads the boxes and delivers them to the recipients. These volunteer "building crews" generally don't speak any Russian, and with the large number of recipients who speak Russian but little English, communications can be difficult. It would be a big help to us if you could arrange to have a translator meet each "building crew" on the morning of Sunday September 17 to help. We would supply you with a list of building addresses, the time when the truck is scheduled to arrive there, and the name of the crew chief.

New & Free Loyola Book Exchange!

Loyola Students,

There is a new and free textbook exchange where students can buy and sell their textbooks with other Loyola students. This is a free service designed to try and help students save money. 

All you have to do is enter the textbook's ISBN number (found on the back of the book usually by the bar code).  Once entered, Loyola BookExchange automatically returns the title, author, edition number, and a picture of the book – instantly ready to sell without any hassle. 

Not only does the buyer sell exactly what he/she is buying, but the Buyer can also search for textbooks by subject (Biology, Chemistry, etc), only listing the books needed for his/her class.

This website and service is of course, free to all students. 

Loyola BookExchange can be accessed @:

http://luc.collegetextbookexchange.com

Enjoy!

[Hillel-at-Loyola] Shalom from Hillel

Hi,

This is the first Hillel at Loyola listserve message you have received since
Israel was attacked on two fronts and drawn into an ugly, unnecessary war that
it did not provoke and did not seek.  Hopefully, the United Nations resolution
is a step that will bring some kind of closure to this conflict and will lead
to the return of Israel's three kidnapped soldiers.  We mourn the loss of
innocents on all sides, and we hope and pray
that Israel will get the peace that is so much desires from its neighbors.

We have several resources for you relating to the conflict.  First - is a
special cross-campus program this TUESDAY about the current war, then an
opportunity to send chocolate for free to an Israeli soldier, then the national
Hillel on-line petition to the UN, then some resources for donating funds.
Finally, and not related to the war, is reminder information
about Loyola's new Modern Hebrew course and information about a beatbox show by
Hillel's favorite beatbox performer, Yuri Lane.



THE TRIALS OF WAR - TUESDAY, AUGUST 15 - 6-8 PM - WEINGER JCC, NORTHBROOK

Many of you have been watching the news and keeping up to date with the
crisis in the Middle East. News stories and events can be confusing, so we
are bringing you a program that will help answer your questions. For those
of you who went on a Birthright Trip to Israel, this is also a time that
you can reconnect with students from your group.

Besides meeting a lot of new people, we will have an "Israel Update" from
Wendy Keter, the Director of the Israel Aliyah Center in the Midwest.  She
will give us an Israeli perspective of what is happening now.

We will also have some really good informational handouts and, of course,
there will be a great Israeli dinner!  Before you come to campus, we hope
you take advantage of this opportunity.

*  Tuesday August 15th
*  6:00-8:00p.m.
*  Bernard Weinger JCC
*  300 Revere Dr. Northbrook, IL 60602
*  Dinner provided

Directions: Take the Edens Expressway to Lake Cook Road West.  After
passing over expressway, the 2nd stop light is Revere Dr.  Take a left
onto Revere Dr. (the street before Northbrook Ct.).  Revere Drive dead ends at
the JCC parking lot.



SEND CHOCOLATE TO AN ISRAELI SOLDIER FOR FREE

Next - is a link to send Israeli soldiers free chocolate and a message:

Here is a free and easy way to help our soldiers in Israel.

"Send Your Hug to the IDF" is a click away.  Send a soldier a message of
support, and he'll receive it along with a chocolate bar.

This is a free service being sponsored by Elite Chocolate Company of Israel and
Heritage Affinity Services.

Please take a minute and send your message.  It will mean so much to the
soldier who receives it.  Afterwards, forward this email to others.

NATIONAL HILLEL ON-LINE PETITION TO UN AND RESOURCES TO HELP ISRAEL

name of the fund is Fund to Help the North (Keren Ezra L'Tzafon).  The website

TAKE HEBREW FOR CREDIT AT LOYOLA!!

After much effort, including a petition drive launched by Hillel at Loyola,
Modern Hebrew has returned to Loyola as a 3-credit class.  Now that the class
is being offered, we want to insure that it remains!

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn Hebrew from our outstanding Hebrew
instructor, Ms. Elana Daniel.

The meets Tuesday and Thursday from 1-2:15 PM in Damen Hall and can be found in
the course catalogue under HEBREW.



BEATBOXER YURI LANE IN A NEW SHOW!!
