Kehilla Dinner - Tuesday nights!
Kehilla is a social group started by students at the CJL who want to help foster a sense of community for everyone, whether you are an upperclassman, freshman, sophomore, or grad student. To help us all stay connected to one another despite our busy schedules, Kehilla invites everyone to make the CJL dining hall their venue of choice for Tuesday night dinner. We hope to see you there!
This meal is free for students with no full meal plan (either through the university or through an eating club). Students with no pre-paid meal plan anywhere, or with partial meal plans through the university or through a co-op, eat FREE provided they RSVP by noon on Tuesday to wsara@. If you've already RSVP'd to Kehilla, then no need to do so again.
Dinner is served at the CJL between 5:30 and 7:30. Please note: Kehilla is open to ALL students who would like to participate. In addition, the dining hall will be open for all students as usual.
We hope to see you there!
