Shabbat in New York City

Take an exciting trip during Reading Week to one of New York City's most exotic temples! We'll head to B'nai Jeshurun, famous for its use of instruments, people dancing in the aisles, and Argentinean Rabbis - lots of flair!

Services start at 6:00pm, so we'll be leaving on the 4:00pm Dinky. Afterwards, the CJL will treat you to dinner in the city at Trattoria Sambuca - fabulous Italian fare. Join us for a break from Reading Week, fun friends and travel, and a Shabbat sure to impress.

Kosher Sex this Fall

Judaism is a sex-positive tradition which values sexual pleasure and recognizes that physical intimacy can be an experience of holiness. Although traditionally Judaism advocates full sexual expression only within the context of heterosexual marriage, several modern Jewish thinkers are applying Jewish values to create a new sexual ethic for pre-marital and homosexual relations.

This discussion group will consider traditional and contemporary sources in relation to the sexual decisions college students and others are making in their daily lives.

This group will meet bi-weekly in the fall and will be co- facilitated by Rabbi Julie Roth, Executive Director of the Center for Jewish Life and Fannie Bialek '09, President of the Sexual Health Advisors.

Please let us know via email if you are interested in participating in the fall - julroth@princeton.edu or abialek@princeton.edu.
