| Hillel Events |
|
Two
events were covered in the Case Observer, the student campus paper,
in their October 5th edition. As a response to an act of vulgarity with
anti-Semitic overtones, our students initiated a response to promote peace
and tolerance on campus. The related article can be viewed at:

Also,
in reaction to the Walt and Mearsheimer visit to the Case Western Reserve
University campus on September 30th, Caleb Posner, a freshman, wrote the
following:
Unpopular
Reason: Israel Lobby talk displayed unsound argument, anti-Semitic sentiment

Oberlin Hillel was recently involved with two very unique programs. The
first was a mini course on the Arab-Israeli Conflict held with special
guest professor Dean Munther Dajani of Al-Quds University in East
Jerusalem.
Secondly, during Sukkot, the Oberlin Hillel organized a special music program and performance entitled " Convergence and Creativity: Islam, Jewish and Christian Music of the Middle East".
We brought a traveling sukkah to Cleveland State University that was set up Tuesday afternoon during
Sukkot near the student union so that both the Jewish students as well as the campus
community could learn about the Holiday.
