[Jewish] Jewish Social Justice/Tikun Olam organizing meeting tomorrow

[Steven Nathan]

If you are interesting in getting more involved in Social Justice/Social 
Action/Tikun Olam (repairing the world) and helping to organize 
activities on-campus and off-campus in a Jewish or multi-faith context, 
please join me tomorrow,  Thursday Nov. 1 at 5:00 PM at the Spiritual 
Life Center in Donut 5 (use the door facing Donut 3) for dinner (from 
Atkins) and a brainstorming/organizing session.  If you know anyone else 
who might be interested, but isn't on either of the lists, please invite 
them to come as well.

This will focus on finding local (or perhaps national) projects or 
activities in which we can get involved on a regular basis.  So make 
sure to bring any ideas based on your past experience here or elsewhere.

RSVP if you can by the end of today, so I'll know how much food to 
order.  Thanks.

I hope to see you there.

Steve Nathan

"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. It also became clear to 
me that in regard to cruelties committed in the name of a free society, 
some are guilty, all are responsible."

-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
