Dear Students and Friends,
We are now celebrating the miracle of Hanukkah by lighting the Menorah. Beit Hillel ruled that on the first day of Hanukkah, we light one candle; each day thereafter, we increase the lights by one to increase in holiness.
At our own Santa Monica College Hillel we look to increase the holiness of our community by engaging students in meaningful Jewish experiences to: “Enrich the lives of students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.
”This Hanukkah season we ask that you help take part in enriching the lives of our Jewish community by contributing $36, $72, $108, $360, or more today. Click here http://santamonica.hillel.org/donatetoday.aspx to contribute and to see the Fall 2011 SMC Hillel Video.
Your contribution will be put to work allowing us to create and implement many critical programs. Thank you for helping us offer a dynamic and transformative experience allowing us to cultivate the Jewish leaders of today and tomorrow.
Warmest Regards,
Your Santa Monica College Hillel Staff, Student Board, and Lay Leadership
