   This Sukkot was enjoyed by hundreds of Columbia students and their guests
   because of the wonderful leadership of many special folks.  WeÕd like
   to thank Josh Schulman and Josh Sultanic who coordinated the building of
   the Sukkah.  Simchat Torah was masterfully done by Deborah Birner and
   Chana Sommer.  Hakafot were run by Natie Fox , Evan Serpick, Adina
   Greenberg, Beth Samuels, Paul Gelb and Rachel Feinerman.  Meals were
   coordinated by Israel Kochin, and Lauren Winner oversaw the entire Yom
   Tov.  Thanks to all who assisted in many other ways to make our holidays
   so special.

   JEWISH INFORMATION

   NB: All times are now in Eastern Daylight Savings Time
   NB: The Jewish day begins at sundown of the previous secular day.
   Ex: Purim is Feb 25 so it begins the evening of Feb 24 and ends Feb 25.

   "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

   Make sure all of your group's Jewish events are included in the next

   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

   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.

   The Jewish Electronic Calendar is now on the World Wide Web!
   Type "~mig/pub/ksh/www" then select "Jewish" or, using Mosaic, Lynx,
   or another WWW browser, open URL:  http://www.columbia.edu/~mig/jec.html

   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:

   I hope you enjoyed this edition of the Jewish Electronic Calendar.

                                                    Shabbat Shalom!
