Free Film Screening: The Memory Thief
Thursday, November 20th, 7:00pm, International House (37th and Chestnut)
The Memory Thief tells the story of Lukas - an aimless, haunted young
man in contemporary L.A. who buries thoughts of his own past in the
humdrum routine of a tollbooth clerk. A chance encounter with a
Holocaust survivor suddenly brings into focus a world and an identity
he embraces with frightening intensity - the victimized Jews of World
War II. As he begins to enthusiastically act out his newfound
obsession, Lukas discovers that survivor's guilt isn't just for the
Jews anymore. Contact Avital (avitalef@sas.upenn.edu) with questions. Hillel Downtown Party!
Thursday, November 20, 10:00pm-2:00am, XO Lounge (1437 South Street)
Come break it down at Hillel’s big bash of the semester. Tickets are $5 (or $4 with a Student Activities card). All proceeds will go to Friends of the Israeli Defense Force. | Babysitter needed for Saturday night - November 15th
Penn and Hillel Alums, Chad and Jessica Haller, need babysitter for Saturday night.
Email them at chadhaller@yahoo.com if you are interested. LimmudNY
LimmudNY is an amazing four days of some of the most diverse Jewish learning and experiences in one conference that you'll ever see!! It is a conference, a festival, a gathering of hundreds of Jews from all walks of life, all Jewish backgrounds, all lifestyles, and all ages. Limmud is four days of lectures, workshops, text-study sessions, discussions, exhibits, performances and much more—all planned by a community of volunteers. Penn Hillel and JRP are sending a group this January 16-19, 2009 to LimmudNY in the Catskills. We'll leave Friday mid-day and Monday is MLK, JR. Day so you'd only miss 1/2 day of classes (if you have Friday classes). The student fellowship makes the conference $209/person for Friday-Monday and Penn Hillel will further subsidize that so that the cost to you will be $100 + $50 for travel. There are still a few spots left to receive this general scholarship -- please contact me by Friday 11/14 if you're interested or if you have any questions!! You can also ask people who went last year -- Ariel Fisher, Davida Schiff, Dina Bleckman, Danny Cohen, Rachel Cohen, Ben Schwarz.
