MUvement
The student organization called the MUvement, a social group dedicated to creating events, projects, etc., that helps make Miami's campus feel more inclusive needs your help! They are working on a collage that represents the diverse backgrounds and lives that students bring to Miami. On Hillel's website is a document titled "Side By Side", it will be used as the foundation for their collage project. What makes this collage special is that the students are not only the source of inspiration, but ultimately, you will also be the artists. However, what they need are contributors. So please, visit the website, fill it out and bring it to one of their meetings. Meetings are every Thursdays at 8 p.m. in Laws 018 (which is in the basement) until the end of the semester to create ample opportunities.
Contact Justin Rifis, President of the MUvement, with any questions.

Pledge An Hour- Help Volunteer to Repair the World
One of our donors was so inspired by our efforts that she offered a challenge grant, giving Hillel's Tzedek program $1 for every new person who volunteers through our Pledge an Hour campaign, up to $10,000.
The goal of this campaign is to help repair the world by encouraging people to volunteer some time, making a difference in their community or in the world. It doesn't take much, whether you spend an hour changing light bulbs in your home to eco-friendly ones, or visit the sick in the hospital.
And now, giving just an hour of your time can help fund some of Hillel's social justice activities on campus.
For more information, visit Pledge An Hour HERE!

Cleveland Federation Needs Your Help
The Israel Action Committee or the CRC at the Cleveland Federation has decided to launch a big effort regarding the kidnapped Israeli soldiers. I have attached for you a memo from our Israel Action Committee outlining what we plan to do. I am hoping you might be able to help us in getting the word out about this effort.

We are trying to collect several thousand signatures to send to the U.N. Secretary General and the U.S. Congress. You have the capability to reach out to a lot of people including family, friends and colleagues. Would you be able to help us in distributing the petition? I have attached a copy of the petition and I will include the link as well. We have had a great response to this so far. We are encouraging people to go to Sign The Petition and click on the link to 'Sign a petition'. For more information email Rachel Kaplan.

Broomball Sign-ups!
If you are interested in playing broomball next season (January-March), email Jenny.



We look forward to seeing you soon!
