Krav Maga: Come learn the fundamentals of Krav Maga, the Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) form of self-defense, with IDF reservist and Columbia student Yoav Oren. Krav Maga's techniques emphasize simple, practical movements, based on the body's natural instincts that can be performed by people of all levels of ability. Protect yourself with these self-defense skills that teach you to respond to violent attacks and assaults quickly and effectively, addressing the danger and counter attacking immediately to prevent further struggle. These techniques assume that you are at a disadvantage, and show you how to remove yourself from a dangerous situation in the shortest possible time. Tuesday, October 13th in Rennert in the Kraft Center from 7:30-9:00pm. PLEASE WEAR COMFORTABLE CLOTHING FOR THIS INVIGORATING WORKOUT! A LionPac event cosponsored by the Israel Va'ad and AEPi. 3. Uri L'Tzedek/Hillel College Shabbaton, November 20-22: Join Uri L’Tzedek and Columbia/Barnard Hillel for the second annual college shabbaton, November 20-22 at Columbia University. We will gather together for a weekend of programming and learning, networking, and action with Jewish social justice leaders from college campuses around the country. Together we will explore Jewish texts relating to issues of Orthodoxy and social justice, develop social justice visions for our campus communities, and build relationships with other student leaders. On Sunday participants will participate in a Yom Iyyun and take action as they hit the streets to support Uri L’Tzedek’s Tav HaYosher (http://tavhayosher.wordpress.com), an ethical seal for kosher restaurants. Uri L’Tzedek is seeking college students who are committed to the mission of Uri L’Tzedek: education, leadership development, and action to create discourse, inspire leaders and empower the Jewish community toward creating a more just world. This shabbaton is part of Uri L’Tzedek’s college initiative, striving to develop a community of social justice leaders on campuses across the country. The shabbaton is free and includes housing, food and learning. For more information and to RSVP, please email Shoshie Sprague (shoshana.sprague@gmail.com)--Chair of the Uri L’Tzedek College Initiative—by October 25th.

In addition to financial assistance toward graduate study, fellows become part of a diverse professional community that encourages learning about one's self as a leader though interactions with others with different points of view. Fellows engage with expert faculty members in the field of leadership education and expert scholars in Jewish studies. Being part of the Wexner Graduate Fellowship/Davidson Scholars Program extends well beyond the 4-year leadership program.
