[Jewish] two local events

[Alizah David]

Hi everyone,
I miss you guys! For those of you who don't know me I am a former signer of JSU. I have come to tell you that there is life outside of Hampshire (although it did take me the better part of this year to find it.) Please look to the bottom of this E-mail for two local events that you might find interesting. One thing I learned being a signer for JSU is that it is really important to maintain the relationship between our Jewish Community and those in the Amherst area. If you go, introduce yourself as a student... they love that.... 
 
B'Shalom from the holy land,
Alizah (F00)
