       "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".
    
       For a list of Jewish discussion e-mail lists, e-mail the word "list" to
       listserv@jerusalem1.datasrv.co.il.

       If you have any questions about any Jewish activities in the Columbia

       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.
