On Monday, April 16th, a gunman killed at least 33 people at Virginia Tech, including himself. This vigil is for those who were lost, and those affected by that loss. It is a place for all of us to gather and show support for the families of the victims, and also to support one another.
A silent candle lighting to show respect will be at 6:30 pm, Tuesday April 17th, Shriver Fine Arts Plaza (patio behind Shriver), and if any would like to speak, you are more than welcome. The world shares the shock and grief, but at this vigil you can share your sentiments with others in our small community in the world.
There will be a table to sign cards to send to the families of the victims and the shaken college town, a small quiet one much like our own. If you would like more information or have suggestions, please contact me at broziosl@muohio.edu.
Sincerely, Stacey Brozio

Oxford family looking for students to provide after-school care and Hebrew tutoring
The Abowitz's are looking for students who are interested in working for their family next academic year to provide some after-school child-care and Jewish & Hebrew tutoring.
Their kids are ages 6 and 7, and have been getting Jewish tutoring for the past year or so. They live in Oxford, and are looking for students who might be interested in working with them for a year or even more -- ideally, they would love to develop a relationship with a handful of students who are in their first or second years at Miami and continue to employ those students until graduation. They are looking for men or women who like kids, like to play and have fun, and can think up and organize some creative, active ways to engage their kids in Jewish learning. They are a reform family and liberal in theology. They don't have to hire someone that exactly matches us in this respect, this would be the desired orientation of the Jewish learning. They are looking to hire someone (or maybe two people) for two or three afternoons a week. The kids get off the bus most days at 4:15. The days are flexible. The payment is around $6-7/hour. There's also a chance of a 3rd kid being involved in the tutoring. Of course, more kids = more pay.
Please call the Abowitz's if you're interested at 513- 524-4257

We welcome all submissions to the JewsPaper
If you would like your announcement to be published, please send it to muhillel@muhill el.org by no later than 10AM Monday morning, and it will be placed in the JewsPaper for that week.
