High Holydays [Hillel]

Guys-

I hope your semester is getting on to a good start. The High Holydays are fast approaching, so here is the Ames Jewish Congregation's schedule of events for Rosh HaShannah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot. If you are interested in going to any of the services and need a ride, please contact Shayna or myself. (Contact info below).  There are also 4 synagogues in Des Moines- Chabad, Orthodox, Conservative and Reform, all of whom would be more than happy to have you attend. 

Also, now is a good time to talk to your professors about Rosh HaShannah and Yom Kippur. Even the most intimidating of professors are often very understanding about religious holidays, so don't be afraid to ask! If you have classes that have homework that is due on Monday, you might be able to get an extension by explaining how the new year is going to take up the entire weekend, until Sunday evening. And of course you should have no problems with professors making allowances for Yom Kippur on the Monday of the 2nd.  If you do have problems with your professors being less than understanding, let me know immediately and we will get something worked out!

Here is the AJC's website- there are links to both their schedule of services and to all of the Des Moines synagogues.

Also, if you are interested in taking Hebrew classes, let me know via email (even if you have already spoken to a Hillel officer about it) and we will try to arrange something with the AJC, possibly for free.
