The Center for Jewish Life, Office of Religious Life, and Pace Center have partnered to explore a pilot application of the Ambassador program. This intern will develop educational programs for communications that connect sustainability action to values - either secular, religious, universal or particular, depending on the needs of the organization. The value-based component will be incorporated into the broader Ambassador program at CJL/ORL/and PACE.   The intern will report jointly to the Associate Manager of the Office of Sustainability and the Director of the Center for Jewish Life. More information available upon request to Jeffrey Domanski at domanski@princeton.edu
 
 
YOGA @ the CJL
Sunday, November 22
3:30-4:30pm
 
Join Carter Greenbaum '12 for a meditative yoga class.
This hour long class is open to students with all levels of experience with yoga. We focus on the Vinyasa, breathing and meditative, aspect of yoga. This class synthesizes the physical world of movement and spiritual world of meditation and prayer. Take time out from your busy and productive Sunday to refocus and take a step back, using yoga to achieve Moksha, realization of self and G-d.
Bring a yoga mat and comfortable clothes if possible.
 
RSVP to Carter Greenbaum cgreenba@princeton.edu by Friday, November 20th before Shabbat to reserve your spot and a mat if you need one.
