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.

Jewish Learning Programs:
Jewish Life in Germany & Vienna After the Holocaust"
A discussion on this topic will be led by Nachson ben-Asher, a senior at Miami. Information is based on experiences of Holocaust survivors who were recently interviewed as part of a class trip to Germany & Vienna. Main question they answered is, "How do they reconcile their Jewish and national identities." Discussion will be on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 at 5:00 pm in either 40 Irvin or 255 Upham (watch the Hillel website for location confirmation.) Questions? Email Nachshon.
