Dear Friends:
This academic school year is rapidly coming to an end. The students at San Jose State University are beginning their final exams today and the students at the other schools we serve are winding down their studies and will shortly be getting ready for their exams. At Hillel, we got them ready earlier this week with a study session and snack break. On Friday, we will celebrate Shabbat at Hillel for the last time this year with our monthly Shabbat service, and a great meal sponsored by our board president Andy Katcher and his wife Michele. We will also honor our graduates and wish all of our students a relaxing summer with a festive Oneg Shabbat featuring karaoke, student musical performances and special desserts.
We also anticipate the arrival of the Festival of Shavuot which begins this Saturday night. As Shavuot marks the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai, it also gives us the perfect opportunity to celebrate our students' accomplishments, look back over a year of Jewish and secular study, and anticipate a lifetime of learning, pursuit of happiness, and wishing them a lifetime of success.
The board and staff of Hillel of Silicon Valley wish you and your families Chag Shavuot Sameach!

This past Thursday, Bob Baird led a discussion about naturalistic approach to understanding Torah for our Torah on Tap program.
