Ritual & Prayer
We will learn about the Chevra Kadisha: who we are and why we do what we do. Why do we use white shrouds? Why do we wash the body twice? Why do we not leave the body alone? Why are we anonymous?

Ritual & Prayer
One of the many special traditions of Shabbat is Seudah Shlishit, the third meal. The Talmud explains that we should eat three meals (Friday night dinner, Shabbat lunch, and Seudah Shlishit) to honor Shabbat. Let's enjoy these last moments of Shabbat together, and, after your nosh, join a table of fellow attendees and sing some of the traditional afternoon songs.
The Three Horsemen of the Food Apocalypse
Hydrogenated Fat, HFCS, and Slave Chocolate
Jessica Hersh
Saturday 7:25 PM–8:40 PM
University Center 122
Food
In this class we will explore three major food trends and where they fall on the scale of "is it bad for my body," "is it bad for the environment," "is it bad for my soul." What is hydrogenated fat and why is it bad for us? What is the deal with high fructose corn syrup anyway? And how can I be sure the chocolate I am eating wasn't produced by slaves?
