TIME/PLACE CHANGE FOR ISRAELI FILM, ETC.

Hi,

This Hillel listserve message has 2 parts - one a change, one a reminder.

THE CHANGE

This afternoon's award-winning Israeli film could not be shown on the
Hillel DVD player.  So, we are showing "YOSSI and JAGGER" in Room 338-A of
DAMEN HALL at 4 PM.  The movie is about 70 minutes.  This room is right
next door to the LANGUAGE LAB.

Here's the movie's description:

ISRAELI CINEMA ON A SOFA - "YOSSI AND JAGGER"

This award-winning film is based on a true story and portrays the
relationship between two male Israeli officers in a remote army base on
the Israeli-Lebanese border.  They are commanders, they are in love, and
they try to find a place of their own.  This 2002 film presents an
ensemble of young Israeli men and women struggling with their lives, their
mandatory army service and a complicated political situation.  They are
young people trying to survive in what often seems like an impossible
world.



THE REMINDER

Please join Hillel Saturday night when we go to the Basketball Game!


SATURDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 24 - 7:00 PM - GENTILE CENTER, SECTION D

"HAVDALLAH AT HALF-TIME!"

Hillel at Loyola invites you to support our Loyola Ramblers Basketball
Team in their first back-to-back winning season in 22 years!

This is the final home game of the year, and we will be sitting in Section
D, behind the Scorer's Table.

There is no admission fee for students with a Loyola ID.

After the game, come back to Hillel and join us for Ice Cream Sundaes,
S'Mores and Hot Chocolate!

Don't forget that the garage is open and parking is free on game nights!

We hope you will join us!!  GO RAMBLERS!!

    Hillel This Week

    Shalom,

    Once again, Hillel has planned a very diverse week of programs going from the
    difficult subject of Abuse in the Jewish Home to the performance of the
    Northwestern University Klezmer Band to another Latin Dance class to an
    award-winning Israeli film to Hillel's attendance at the final home game of
    the Loyola Ramblers Basketball Team.

    We hope to see you sometime during the week!

    community's organization that provides safe homes, counseling, legal aid and
    other vital services to Jewish families suffering from domestic abuse.

    This is a NOT FOR WOMEN ONLY program, though it is being held on Rosh Chodesh
    Adar, the beginning of the Jewish month of Adar - which falls on Sunday and
    Monday this year.  Rosh Chodes is the begining of each Jewish month and is
    traditionally a time set aside to honor women.  This semester, we are
    sponsoring two special Rosh Chodesh programs - and this is the first.

    A pizza lunch will be served.





    WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 - 5:00 PM - DEVON/SHERIDAN BLDG.-6400 N. SHERIDAN

    traditional Jewish music of Eastern Europe that in modern times has been merged
    with contemporary jazz rhythms.

    The Devon/Sheridan Residence is the senior citizen building just across the
    street from the Lake Shore Campus.  It is across Sheridan Road.  The entrance
    is on Devon.  Hillel students volunteer there every Friday afternoon, and once
    a semester we organize a party for the residents.

    For this party, we would like to invite our entire listserve!!  This is the
    first klezmer band performance almost on campus in many years!  Just walk in
    the front door and go to the Dining Room.  Hopefully, you will hear the music!





    WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 - 4-5 PM - MCCORMICK LOUNGE, COFFEY HALL

    "HILLEL LATIN DANCE CLASS"

    You can dance with Konstantin and Jane, and then go over to the
    Devon/Sheridan Building to hear the Klezmer Band!

    Konstantin and Jane's dance class is continuing on Wednesday's from 4-5.
    There is so much enthusiasm for the class, they are now meeting weekly.

    You do not have to have gone before.  They teach new dances each week!





    THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22 - 5:00 PM - HILLEL-MUNDELEIN CENTER, 2ND FLOOR

    ISRAELI CINEMA ON A SOFA - "YOSSI AND JAGGER"

    This award-winning film is based on a true story and portrays the relationship
    between two male Israeli officers in a remote army base on the Israeli-Lebanese
    border.  They are commanders, they are in love, and they try to find a place of
    their own.  This 2002 film presents an ensemble of young Israeli men and women
    struggling with their lives, their mandatory army service and a complicated
    political situation.  They are young people trying to survive in what often
    seems like an impossible world.
