$200 For Sderot!
Saturday night's Game Night, in partnership with NYU's Game Club, raised $200 for an indoor playground in Sderot, Israel. This playground allows children in an often-missile-targeted region to play, since outdoor playgrounds are not a viable option.
Congratulations to us! And thanks to all who braved the soggy Saturday to come out and donate in the name of a truly excellent cause.

Rabbi Yehuda Sarna is given "Richard M. Joel Exemplar of Excellence Award" by Hillel International
Each year, a select few Hillel professionals from around the world are given this prestigious award. For his contributions to our community, Rabbi Sarna was recognized this year. Below is an excerpt from the text read during the awards ceremony:
"Hired to work primarily with Orthodox students, Rabbi Sarna?s efforts have led to a phenomenal growth of all Jewish denominations on campus, making The Bronfman Center for Jewish Life at NYU a magnet for Jewish life. Through the use of intellectual and experiential learning, he has inspired students who had never before engaged in Jewish study to discover how Judaism is relevant to their lives. He organized one of the first public rallies raising awareness of genocide in Darfur and traveled with a group of students to the Gulf Coast following hurricanes Katrina and Rita. When tragedy struck at Virginia Tech, Sarna traveled there with students to provide counseling, show solidarity and to offer any help needed."
Please join the community in congratulating and thanking Rabbi Sarna!

Alan is 49, father of 2 girls. He was diagnosed with leukemia and is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant to survive. Since tissue type is inherited, Alan’s best chance of finding a genetically matched donor lies with those of Jewish ancestry. However,there are many patients of all back grounds in need of donors for transplants, so we encourage everyone to join the registry!
