To support Earth Day, Hillel at Loyola is organizing a Beach Clean-Up this Sunday at Hartigan Beach - where Albion Avenue meets the lake!

After the clean-up - there will be "Bagels 'n Stuff on the Beach!"

The weather is supposed to be glorious on SUNDAY, so we hope you can join us!

Another Israeli made film is "Dark Night" by Leonid Prodovsky. The return of three soldiers to their post, turns into a deadly ambush.

Directed by Ari Sandel and written by Kim Ray and Ari Sandel; "West Bank Story" was an official selection of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival
