The Purdue Hillel Newsletter

By Becky Lillianfeld and Annie LopatinOn January 22, 2009, an Israel Solidarity Rally

was held on Memorial Mall. A large number of studentsand a handful of community members came out to showsupport for Israel which, at its height, numbered aroundsixty people.

Preparations for the rally began about a week prior.We received support from numerous organizations,including the Jewish Federation of Greater Lafayette,the JCRC, the Israel Council at Purdue, the HillelFoundation at Purdue, Hillel Graduate & Professionalsat Purdue, Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity and Zeta BetaTau Fraternity. A lot of time and effort by the studentsand Philip was put into the planning and production ofthis rally to make it possible. Thank you!

The rally consisted of a lot of people holding upsigns, Israeli flags and distributing a flyer whichshowed our support and solidarity with the people ofIsrael and that detailed the truths of the current conflict between Hamas and Israel. Some of the messages onthe signs included a quotation from President Barak Obama, “If someone were firing on his home, where his twodaughters were sleeping he would do everything to stop the attacks...and that this is how he expects Israel to actas well.” July 23, 2008. Another sign depicted the difference between Hamas and Israel, with a statement of“Hamas hides behind civilians, Israel defends Civilians”. The flyers that were handed out included a timelinewith the history of the conflict, about Israel and of Hamas, and our goals. Our goal of the rally was to show oursupport for Israel’s right to defend her and condemn Hamas’ use of unethical tactics. Additionally, we wantedto educate our peers, many of whom did not know about the conflict. We encouraged those walking by to comeup to us, ask questions and learn about the conflict.

During the rally, many students debated with several Palestinianstudents who approached us. Students from both sides kept the debateup for almost three hours. The Palestinian students were arguing avariety of issues, with varying extremes. The main issue was whetherIsrael was in the right with their “disproportionate” response and using“improper” military tactics. Both sides have agreed upon a futuredialogue to greater discuss the issues of the conflict. When a dateand time are set we will definitely encourage students to attend andeither watch or participate. During the rally, there was press present,which included reporters from The Exponent, Journal & Courier andthe local West Lafayette News Channel 18.

Again, thank you so much for coming out and showing your supportfor Israel and to all those who helped with the preparation.

By: Adam SachsISRAEL: The Most Amazing Time of My Life

IsraelIsraelIsraelIsraelIsrael

My Birthright experience to Israel was one of the most amazing times of my life. I had friends who hadgone before and urged me to go, but I could never have imagined how much fun I was going to have. The people

on my bus were amazing. We bonded almost immediately becauseeveryone’s personalities meshed so well. I walked on the plane with11 friends, and walked off with 34. The only other time that hashappened to me was when I joined my fraternity, AEPi. However, thetrip wasn’t only the people. The entire experience was so moving andlife changing. I had heard how it can change your life forever, but Ididn’t believe the people who told me. When I returned to the US, Ibelieved them. There was just something about the country and theplaces we visited that were so incredibly moving. I now have adifferent perspective and attitude towards Israel, and my life ingeneral. I would recommend this trip to all those eligible, and stronglyadvocate for the Birthright program. If I had the chance to do thetrip all over again, I would be on the plane in a heartbeat. I wouldn’ttrade the world for the experience I had with the people on Bus 802.Thanks for the amazing experience.

When I originally heard that I could go to Israel for free, I thought that it was too good to be true. But overthe past two years, I saw a lot of my friends go on their Birthright trip and they all told me the same thing - itwas amazing. With my expectations of the trip being exceedingly high, I still say that it was one of the bestexperiences I have ever had. I thought the trip would make me more religious and help me connect to my religionbetter. In truth, the trip made me realize that being more or less religious was not of main importance. The tripreally helped me connect with Judaism from a personal standpoint. I learned that the Jewish people do not forma religion, but are a people with a religion. The religious aspect is only a smallpart of being Jewish. As I had the opportunity to speak to the Israeli soldierson our bus many of whom don’t follow any of the practices that we Jews (ofall denominations) in the States follow, but they definitely feel that they arepart of the Jewish people.

I had a great time meeting new people and seeing new places. I alwaysheard the story about the Western Wall and how holy the place is, but beingthere and resting your head against the wall was an experience that I cannotput into words. I simply felt a presence in my head that has never been therebefore. I enjoyed every place we went and consider each of the sites wevisited to have some positive effect on me. I would recommend this trip toanyone eligible, and I really hope I can return again soon.

Michael in the DEAD SEA

Going on Taglit-Birthright to Israel was the most amazing 8 days of my life. Jerusalem,the Western Wall, the Dead Sea, Masada, Tel Aviv and the Bedouin Tent were all some ofmy favorite tourist parts of Israel, but my favorite part was seeing the real Israel. Ingoing, I expected to learn more about my heritage and the culture of the Israeli people. Ilearned about this and so much more. I developed friendships that I know will last alifetime. The Israeli soldiers made the greatest impact on my trip. To see that they werethe same as me, except their life was the Navy and mine was higher education. There wasa war going on while we were there, but I realized that fighting is a part of daily life inIsrael, and they are constantly trying to stand up for what they believe in. I felt saferthere than I would here, and the Israelis did not walk around like there was a war goingon, they lived life. If the trip showed me anything, it was how much I felt at home thereand how much I want to go back.

ISRAEL: BETTER THAN ADVERTISED

Over Winter Break, I went on the Taglit: Israel Birthright - Hillel Trip. I had the time of my life! Our triptook us all over the country, including Jerusalem’s Old City, Mount Herzl, and Ben Yehuda Street. In Tel Aviv,we saw Independence Hall, went shopping on Shenkin Street, and to Shuk Ha Carmel, which is similar to afarmer’s market. I slept in a Bedouin Tent, and woke up the next morning to ride a Camel in the Desert. I climbedMasada and floated in the Dead Sea where, on one side of me was the Judaean Mountains and the other theJordanian Mountains. In the north we stayed in Tiberius visiting the Galilee, the Golan Heights, the GhettoFighters Museum & the The Yad Layeled Children’s Museum, which is the first Holocaust Museum in Israel andthe only one dedicated to the living and not those murdered. On Mount Ben-Tal, I looked out over the Israel-Syria border, which on a clear day you can see Damascus. I visited Rosh Hanikra and Tzfat as well.

Seeing the history of this miraculous country was astounding. I was amazed from when we first landed atBen Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv until I returned to the airport for my trip home. Since my return, many people haveasked me about my trip, and if I felt safe with the conflict in Gaza. My response to the first is simply put as: thetrip was amazing. My response to the second question was even easier: What conflict? It was so quiet throughoutthe country that if I didn’t listen to our tour guide or watch the news, I wouldn’t have known anything was goingon. Not once on the trip did I not feel safe.

I also was excited beyond belief to when we got to meet our Mifgash, a group of 7 Israeli soldiers whowould be staying with us for 5 days. They were all from the Navy and luckily for them, the most service any ofthem had left was 2 months. They were great people, and they were just like us in every way with music and movietastes to activities we do for fun. Their English was great, but sometimes the Israelis in mid sentence wouldswitch to Hebrew, so in return the Americans would change their pace of speech and we would talk fast enoughso they couldn’t understand us. One of our soldiers was the chief of a boat docked in Tel Aviv. The night beforethe soldiers were scheduled to leave he received a call saying they needed his ship down to help with the war inGaza. It was very difficult to say goodbye to him, knowing what hehad to do. However, a few days after I returned to the US, I heardfrom him that he was home safe! Having to say goodbye to the soldierswas even more difficult, so we settled on “L’hitraot” (see you soon).The trip ended on a very high note when unexpectedly four of ournew friends showed up at our farewell dinner and then proceededto escort us to the airport. They hung out with us until our chaperonespushed us through security.

Overall, Israel was the best expericene/vacation I have evertaken. I met some of the most amazing people from the Israeli Army,Miami University, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Brockport, University ofRochester, Eastman School of Music (those four all share a Hillel inthe Rochester Area) and Syracuse University, and I was able to seesome of the most beautiful sights in the world. I felt so lucky to beable to go on this trip, and I loved it so much that over my springbreak (March 14-22) I will be returning to Israel on the JNF’s(Jewish National Fund) Alternative Spring Break.

A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR

The last few months at Purdue Hillel have been very exciting… the conclusion of a successful fallsemester; Taglit: Birthright Israel trip – Hillel Trip (13 students), the start of a new semester, anIsrael Solidarity Rally on campus, Formal, Hawaiian and American Shabbats, and a great Tu B’ShevatBagel Break in February. The near completion of our Capital campaign, which has allowed us to fix theroof and rewire the entire building and, if all goes well in next few months, replace the old (original)windows with modern energy efficient windows.

Activity is great and we are doing “Meaningful Jewish Experiences” with and for our community everyday. Fortunately,a meaningful Jewish experience is different for everyone and this allows us to be creative in how we engage students atPurdue. We are excited for the final eight weeks of the semester. Starting with the community Purim carnival, followedby Gary Kenzer (Executive Director of Honest Reporting USA), our Israel Independence Day Celebration and of course,Passover.

Everything that we do could not be done without the support and guidance of our board and donors, so Thank You! Iencourage you to join with me and Purdue Hillel as we continue to provide Meaningful Jewish Experiences at PurdueUniversity.
