Who knew a clown hung out at Hillel?
Who knew you could get a pie in the face,
cotton candy,
A Shuga-serenade,
and a painted face
all at Hillel?Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?
Then head on over here tonight to join us as we watch the Cleveland Browns play the Denver Broncos. It all goes down at 8pm. We'll supply the munchies, all you need to bring is your spirit.
Also, there is a special "pre-event event" (?) at 7:15 if you're from Cleveland. (If you're not from Cleveland you can come too, just don't trash talk the Browns while you're there)
Thanks to everyone who came to Ohio Loves Israel this past Sunday. It was a great success with over 80 in attendance! There were so many amazing speakers, and the debate between Susan Gellman and Brad Kastan was fascinating. My favorite seminar was Amir Yarchi's (Cincinnati's emissary from Israel) presentation on Israel's portrayal in the media. What was yours?
Lovely ladies taking a part of the Israeli folk dancing class at Ohio Loves Israel.
It's all smiles as OSU students learn about Israel!

So it's the middle of the week! What has Hillel been up to and what's coming up next?
This past Monday, a huge crowd came to Homer's Phobia, put on by Jewish Queers and Allies. Everyone viewed a screening of the controversial Simpson’s episode “Homer’s Phobia” which was the first time the series featured a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) theme. After the viewing, Hillel student leader Steve Feldman led a discussion on the episode.
It was informative, enlightening and delicious! (Thanks to the yummy french toast)
