WANTED: New Hip Team
Name
JEWS ON ICE has been great for many years, but
with new students, It's
time to rename our Hillel broomball team to
reflect
who we are. We want a
name that is Jewish in nature, but that does not say
the word 'Jew' in it,
so hopefully we can use that name for all Hillel-
sponsored Intramural
sports we sponsor. Email anything you can think of
to Jenny
or Hillel.
The new team name will be announced at Shabbat
services on Friday, April 21st.
Leadership AJ
S
(Association of Jewish Students) Exec
Board meets on Thursdays at 7 pm at Hillel. All
are
welcome to attend the meetings. If you have an item
which you would like added to the agenda, please
email Rachel
Cahn by Wednesday night.
