Type "gopher jerusalem1.datasrv.co.il" (without the quotes). To view the Jewish Electronic Calendar there, select: " 4. Events/ " Also check out the NYSERNET gopher: "gopher nysernet.org". For a list of Jewish discussion e-mail lists, e-mail the word "list" to listserv@jerusalem1.datasrv.co.il. "notes jewish" is an open forum for Jewish-related discussions, on Columbia's CUNIX systems. If you know of a Jewish event or a rally, post it there. If you add the word "jewish" (without quotes) to ~/.notesrc, cunix will automatically check for new messages in "notes jewish". You can also post there by sending e-mail to "jewish@columbia.edu". Make sure all of your group's Jewish events are included in the next calendar! Events for inclusion in this calendar should be submitted to the Jewish Student Union office by Thursday at noon. Specify that you want your event in the Jewish Electronic Calendar, as well as the printed calendars. Jewish Student Union 105 Earl Hall (117th Street and Broadway) Columbia University New York, NY 10027 212-854-5111 If you have any questions about any Jewish activities in the Columbia area or events on this calendar, please feel free to call or stop by the JSU office. JTS events are coordinated through the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, telephone number 212-678-8839. The Jewish Electronic Calendar (JEC) is a free weekly electronic schedule of the events relevant to the Jewish community of Columbia University. The Jewish Electronic Calendar and its e-mail list are separate from the JSU, its calendars, mailing and membership lists. Although the JSU Shabbat announcements are provided through the cooperation of the JSU staff, the JEC is published for free as a public service to the Jewish community, and receives no funding. I welcome any volunteers, funding, and ideas about the future direction of the Jewish Electronic Calendar. With more support, it might be possible to prepare the calendar sooner, publish some copies on paper, offer mailbox distribution, and include more information or, perhaps, a D'var Torah for the week or an electronic mailing of Columbia Perspectives magazine. Let me know what you think and, especially, if you can help out! The Jewish Electronic Calendar needs YOU to help gather information, prepare, edit, and distribute the Calendar. If you would like to see something new in this publication, make it happen! Learn computer skills and help out your community. YOUR help is needed! Please email mig@columbia.edu or call 222-2718. Corrections and comments on its format should be sent to mig@columbia.edu. All comments for discussion should be sent to jewish@columbia.edu, or posted directly to "notes jewish". Be sure to include your name and e-mail address in all messages. Subscribe to the free e-mail distribution of the calendar by sending your request to mig@columbia.edu. The calendar is also posted on "notes jewish" on Columbia's CUNIX systems, and on ColumbiaNet under "4: Calendar, Events & Schedules" (telnet columbianet.columbia.edu). If you are using a Barnard free e-mail account, don't forget to send e-mail outside of Barnard's network via the "Internet gateway". For example, e-mail to mig@columbia.edu should be addressed to: internet mig I hope you enjoyed this edition of the Jewish Electronic Calendar. Shabbat shalom! Meir Israel Green
