New CJL Group
Forms
|
|
|
 In attempt to cut expenses and increase efficiency, KESHER and
KOACH have inked a merger agreement and will be creating a new post- denominational,
progressive-halakhic Jewish group to be called KOSHER.
KOSHER's first meeting will take
place on Sunday afternoon over lunch at 12:30 a.m. Dietary laws will kind of
be observed, but kind of not.

CJL Renovations
Slated
|
|
|
 Architects Robert A.M. Stern and Frank Gehry have announced a
joint initiative to combine the buildings of the Lewis Library with the
Center for Jewish Life.
The new building will tower over the
existing construction and join the two buildings with the Princeton Shield
intersection the tablets of the covenant in a 20 story high-rise tower
crossing both Washington Road
and Ivy Lane
to create spiritual and actual land bridge between the sciences and religion.
"We foresee this as a tangible bridge between evolution and
creation," remarked Seth Goren, Center for Jewish Life Vice Admiral for
Programming .
This concept had been under
discussion for many months and caused a halt in construction on the library
as revised permits were approved. Construction is slated to begin on 13
Nisan, 5767.

From the
Librarian

 The CJL Library is delighted to announce that in connection with
the new CJL /Lewis Library renovation plan, a patented “endless
genizah” will be constructed beneath the building.
This state-of-the-art hole in the
ground will be laser drilled into the crust beneath the Princeton
campus, to the level of the earth’s molten core. With careful
management, the photocopies, old prayer books and other materials generated
by the CJL that require ritual disposal in a genizah will not exceed the
capacity of the endless hole until the year 2026.
