4) Clinic Escort Training
The Students for Choice clinic escorting program sends groups of escorts every Friday and Saturday morning to a clinic to provide a comfortable and secure zone against the intimidation and harassment of anti-choice protestors.
Come learn how to escort! All are welcome.
Wednesday, November 14th
8 pm
Room 403
Sponsored by Students for Choice, Tzedek Hillel and the Progressive Jewish Alliance.
5) Suite Meals
Next Friday night, November 16, we will be having Suite Meals. Suite Meals is an opportunity for first-years to bond with upperclassmen at an intimate Friday night dinner in an upperclassmen suite. The meals pool together members from all across the Hillel spectrum so whether you're a first-year or a senior, you're bound to make new friends at the meal.
More information to follow so get excited and mark your calendar! Sign-up deadline is this Wednesday, November 14th. As always, any questions regarding Shabbat meals should be sent to shabbatmeals@hillel.columbia.edu.
ATTENTION UPPERCLASSMEN: Please send an email to shabbatmeals@hillel.columbia.edu if you're interested in having a meal in your suite and how many people you could host. We will be providing food for the meal so that should not be a consideration.
6) UNSETTLED
Join us for a screening of UNSETTLED on Monday 11/19. For young Israelis, the summer of 2005 will change the meaning - and for some the very location - of home. Told in their words and from their perspectives, UNSETTLED is about being young and on the front lines of a conflict where the lines are blurred, in a society where the first battle for peace is fought at home.
Monday, November 19th
7:30 pm, 202 Altschul, Barnard
The film will be followed by a question and answer session with the filmmakers. Please email Leora (LS190@columbia.edu) if you have any questions.
