ANNOUNCEMENTS

High Holidays

L'Shana Tova and Yom Tov! If you're looking for a way to celebrate the new year, you can find a service that fits your traditions on Synagogue Connect and attend for free. In addition, JGSI is offering Jewish graduate students two more casual options for Yom Kippur. Wether you fast or not on Yom Kipur, you are invited to end the high holidays with fellow UCLA MBA's at our very own Break Fast on October 5th! Registration will be released on Campus Groups in the coming days.

Some of us will be joining JHub LA for services and AishLit for dinner. Contact our president Deborah Dzialoschinsky on slack for more information if you would like to join.
