...may the New -Year be one of
joy, happiness Sz prosperity
Campus Life has developed a series of
programs to attract Jewish students,
which are often administered by the
Steinhardt fellows:
The University of California at
San Diego offered an "Alternative
Rosh Hashanah." Instead of tradition-
al services, students participated in
High Holiday workshops that related
to various Jewish themes such as envi-
ronmentalism, feminism, teshuvah or
meditation.
* Bryn Mawr and Haverford col-
leges sent bags filled with apples and
honey to the mailboxes of all Jewish
students. Also enclosed in the bag was
information about options on campus
for the High Holidays, as well as
information on what the High
Holidays celebrate.
- Brown University had an apples-
and-honey party on the main quad-
rangle after Rosh Hashanah services.
This program was designed to provide
students a place to socialize after ser-
vices ended and allow students who
did not attend services a chance to
participate in a Jewish activity during
the High Holidays.
- Indiana University provided its
students with an opportunity to
"Send a Card Around the World."
Tables were set up in dorm rooms for
students to send Rosh Hashanah
greeting cards to small Jewish com-
munities in Africa, Asia or South
America. The Hillel campus fellow
also went around campus dressed up
as Winnie-the-Pooh, distributing
honey to students.
* The University of Washington in
Seattle sponsored a Yom Kippur dis-
cussion, to provide a forum for reflec-
tion about Yom Kippur for people
who do not attend services or observe
the holidays in a traditional fashion.
College campuses also offer alterna-
tives as far as services are concerned:
* Services are often held through
campus Hillels or Jewish groups.
• Many Hillels can work with the
neighboring Jewish community to
provide tickets to a local synagogue's
services.
• Campuses often offer home hos-
pitality to Jewish students on the High
Holidays, This way, students can cele-
brate in a family environment that is
near school.
To make the services more enrich-
ing, says Weisman, "bring reading
material into the service on either
Jewish or holiday themes." That way,
students who are bored during the ser-
vice can still learn and reflect about
things Jewish. ❑
