[Jewish] Saying Goodbye & Shavuot

[rsSA at hampshire.edu]

Friends,

As we are saying goodbye to so many Div 3s, I'm writing to let you  
know that I will be saying goodbye to Hampshire College this summer as  
well. I adore Hampshire College, but the commute from Boston has been  
a struggle, and I have decided to accept two positions for next year  
which are both local to Boston. I'm going to be serving a Synagogue in  
Newton, MA, and to be principal of a Sunday school in Cambridge, MA.   
You are invited to come visit my synagogue any shabbat morning, and I  
hope to keep in touch!  I will miss Hampshire deeply, and have learned  
an incredible amount from you.

All are invited to please join me and the graduates in saying goodbye  
during the blessing on the journey, and shabbat dinner, this Friday at  
5:30.   If you're a Div-Free, come celebrate with a blessing and  
celebration, and bring your family!  Friday May 17th 5:30 in the  
Merrill Living room

Also - the holiday of Shavuot is tonight and tomorrow!    This is the  
holiday of the receiving of the Torah; watch a great video about it

Hampshire Students are invited to the JCA for an evening of learning  
on Tuesday night at 7:30-11:30 (come for all or part!)

peace, and happy shavuot,
Rachel
