We are joining with IU Hillel for a Shabbat dinner. We will meet at the Blue House and then carpool from there. RSVP to Yael at ykurgano@butler.edu by Wednesday if you are planning on going.

Birthright Registration

Monday, September 10 (if you’ve registered before) or Wednesday, September 12
We have had discussions of doing a joint birthright trip with the Purdue Hillel.  If you want more information about the trip, the director of the Purdue Hillel, Phillip Schlossberg, sent us an outline of his presentation and any Hillel board member would be glad to give you that information.  If you apply, you will enter Purdue as your school, and you will put down a $250 fully refundable deposit.  I would highly encourage this “All-Indiana” birthright trip as a great way to connect with other jewish Indiana students.  The website is www.toisraelnow.org.
These are some other websites you can explore if you are not interested in the trip with Purdue, including www.birthrightisrael.com
Even if you do not want to go on birthright this winter, if you register now, you will have your deposit fully refunded, and it will move your registration date up for the next time you choose to register.  I would encourage you to do this for the Purdue trip because we need 40+ to register in order for us to reserve the trip with Birthright Israel.
If you have any questions about the birthright process, feel free to email Michael at mgorin@butler.edu.  Lea Levy (llevy@butler.edu), Morgan Sicklick (msicklic@butler.edu) and Julia Levine (jslevine@butler.edu) have all gone on birthright trips in the last year if you have any questions for them about their experiences.

Rosh Hashana Dinner

Sunday, September 16 at 4 pm

Our faculty advisor, Nonie, is cooking a Rosh Hashana meal at her house for the Butler Hillel family away from home! RSVP to Daniel at dmakuton@butler.edu by Friday if you would like to go. We will be meeting at the Blue House and then carpooling to Nonie’s house.

 

High Holiday Services

Rosh Hashana: September 16 and 17
Yom Kippur: September 25 and 26

For the High Holidays, we go to nearby synogogue services. Times depend on where you want to go and when, but Hillel provides carpools. If you are interested in going to a service, please RSVP to Daniel as soon as possible (dmakuton@butler.edu) and let him know which services you would like to attend and if you can drive.
