[JSA/Hillel] interfaith shabbat program

by Samantha Loxton

Get your tickets before the event is sold out. The Jewish Students Association (JSA) of the Universities of Winnipeg and Manitoba again welcomes everyone to our annual Interfaith Shabbat program. Shabbat is the weekly Jewish day of rest, beginning at sundown each Friday and lasting until Saturday at dusk. It is a day of reflection, spirituality, enjoyment, and, of course, food. If you've never experienced a Shabbat - then this is your prime opportunity! JSA is opening up the Etz Chayim Synagogue to give the community at large the opportunity to learn about and celebrate this special holiday, as well as to learn about Jewish culture and traditions in general, as we bring in Shabbat February 6. The evening is open to anyone of any religion, culture, or background, including those who are Jewish and would like to be part of this fun event. The evening starts with a tour of the Etz Chayim Synagogue, followed by a beautiful Shabbat service led by JSA students, and then a wonderful and delicious dinner. February 6, 2009 Tour: 4:45PM, Service: 5:20pm, Dinner: 6:00pm Cost: $10.00 per person (full dinner included!) Tickets can be purchased at the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg offices (3rd floor of the Asper Jewish Community Campus, 123 Doncaster St.) or by contacting any of the administrators of this event.

[JSA/Hillel] FW: Reshet E-Newsletter - Situation: Israel UPDATE

by Samantha Loxton

________________________________ From: Jewish Federation [mailto:jewishfederation@aspercampus.mb.ca] Sent: January-06-09 12:28 PM To: Loxton; Samantha Loxton Subject: Reshet E-Newsletter - Situation: Israel UPDATE [http://www.jewishwinnipeg.org/getimage.asp?id=210135] [http://www.jewishwinnipeg.org/getimage.asp?id=210751] National Solidarity Rally - STAND WITH ISRAEL along with all Federations across Canada. On December 27th, following more than a week of Hamas unceasing rocket and mortar fire attacks on Israel's southern communities, Israel was forced to undertake a major defensive operation to put an end to the attacks from Gaza. This year alone, the men, women and children of southern Israel have endured nearly 3,000 missile strikes launched by Hamas terrorists. Every country has the right and obligation to protect its citizens. Israel is doing no less than Canada would do under similar circumstances. At the same time, Israel continues its efforts to provide humanitarian relief on a daily basis, through border crossings between Gaza and Israel despite Hamas' repeated bombings of those crossings. The international community, including Canada, must continue to signal its solidarity with Israel and those committed to real movement towards peace, while condemning Hamas and its radical allies for forcing the current confrontation. There are many things you can do to help : Come to the STAND WITH ISRAEL rally on Thursday, January 8th at 7:00 pm.
