font-family:Arial'>Hi, my name is Mike Wolf and I have a request I would like
to make of those involved in the JSU. This semester I am taking a course in
ethnography, and have to do a cultural study. Ethnography focuses on learning
about a culture by involving oneself into that culture. So, what this project
would mean is that I would be jotting down notes now and then during events
(such as the weekly Shabbat dinners) and may ask some questions pertaining to
my research. I do not want to be disrespectful to anyone, so I will not be
taking notes during services. If anyone is uncomfortable with me doing this
PLEASE let me know by e-mailing me at <a href="mailto:mrw07@hampshire.edu">mrw07@hampshire.edu</a>
. I need to have a verbal on-going consent with everyone involved, and if you
ever at any point feel uncomfortable with me doing this research, please let me
know either in person or by sending me an e-mail. Also, if there are any
questions, once again feel free to contact me.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
