days for students to attend programs, learn the facts and be inspired to become future leaders. The kickoff event was StandWithUs' Israeli Soldiers Speak Out Tour sponsored by Hillel@ WMU and Outspoken (a LGBT student organization). This event attracted more than 70 students interested in learning about Israel's democracy through dia- logue with soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces. The two soldiers spoke about their experiences as well as gay rights within the IDF and brought a human face to a national army. Students energized by the stories and commitment of the soldiers braved the cold weather to volunteer at the campus flagpole passing out reading materials and giveaways related to Israel. This was a great opportunity to reach students who would normally not attend our programs. Students seemed receptive to our cause and were interested in getting involved. Hillel hosted an Israel social event called HeBREW night at a local bar. Hillel members learned Hebrew pickup lines and Israel trivia. Hillel's Shabbat dinner consisted of traditional Israeli food such as falafel, pita and hummus, all catered by Kalamazoo Chabad. Israel Peace Week was a huge hit at Western, and I look forward to next year's activities. The WMU community was welcoming to Israel Peace Week and attended programs. The support of the community is fundamental to the success of our programs and cam- paigns. Israel Peace Week was a big step in the right direction for peace initia- tives on campus.
