Photos of the 4 dead at Kent State on May 4 1970
On May 4, 1970 the Ohio National Guard opened fire into a busy college campus during a school day. A total of 67 shots were fired in 13 seconds. Four students: (clockwise from Top Left) Allison Krause, William Schroeder, Sandra Scheuer, and Jeffrey Miller were killed protesting the war in Vietnam, as well as covert plans for invasions of Vietnam’s neighbouring countries.
Three of the 4 dead were Jewish. The total Jewish population of Kent State University at the time was 5% of the campus student body.
Join us on Wednesday, May 5, as we commemorate and discuss the legacy of the Kent State 4. We’ll meet in Sem 2 E2105 at 2pm.

Come to Hillel’s Shabbat Seder this Friday the 2nd of April 2010!
We will be starting promptly at 7:30pm, but feel free to arrive earlier.
Hillel will provide beef brisquet and vegetarian matzoh ball soup as main dishes, so everyone can eat.
This is a potluck, so please bring something that is a kosher for passover meat or pareve dish. We will explain what these things mean below.
If the dish you bring needs warming up, we will have the Longhouse Cedar Room kitchen to do so. The kitchen will be available by 6:30pm, so arrive between then and 7:30pm.
Please RSVP by Thursday, 9am, at the latest to reserve your spot at our Seder table. You can RSVP on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=105119429523785, or by email to hillel@evergreenhillel.org
We look forward to reliving the Exodus from Egypt with you. 
As far as food goes:
“Kosher for passover” means that it will have no “chametz”. What does this mean? Chametz is any food product made from wheat, barley, rye, oats, spelt, or their derivatives, which has leavened (risen). As dictated by the Torah, if a food contains even a trace of chametz, we don’t eat it, we don’t derive benefit from it, and we make sure not to have any of it in our possession for all the days of Passover. If something was processed or made on the same equipment as chametz products, those also cannot be eaten.
Foods that are neither meat nor dairy are called “pareve”, “parve”, or “paravine” in Judaism. This means that they contain absolutely no meat or dairy derivatives, and have not been cooked or mixed with any meat or dairy foods. The reason behind needing to know if foods are pareve or not is that Jewish law prohibits mixing meat and milk. Pareve foods can be eaten together with either meat or dairy foods.
Common pareve foods are eggs, fish, fruit, vegetables, grains and juices in their natural, unprocessed state. Processed pareve foods typically include pasta, soft drinks, coffee and tea, and many types of candy and snacks. Processed products, however, must have reliable kashruth supervision. Dark chocolate might be pareve; milk chocolate definitely is not.
b’Shalom,
Anneke

Shalom y’all,
Going on RIGHT NOW in Seattle, with one event in Tacoma, is the 15th Annual Jewish Film Festival! Check out the website for it @ http://www.seattlejewishfilmfestival.org/ To see the entire film program, click here. Get your tickets fast, some films are selling out! The Film Fest runs through March 21st.
“AJC Seattle Jewish Film Festival:
“The World Through a Vibrant Lens”
The annual AJC Seattle Jewish Film Festival (SJFF) is an 10-day international cinematic exploration and celebration of Jewish life, culture, identity and history. Jewish film festivals are one of the most popular expressions of Jewish culture today, providing unparalleled opportunities for moviegoers to plumb every aspect of the Jewish psyche and experience.
SJFF uses the magical medium of film to both entertain and educate the Jewish and general communities about complex issues facing Jewish people and world communities alike, while challenging conventional perspectives. SJFF also strives to build bridges of mutual understanding between diverse groups by creating forums for engaging in respectful dialogue about timely subjects and concerns. By viewing “The World Through a Vibrant Lens,” SJFF audiences also gain profound insight into the universal human experience.
Founded in 1995, SJFF has grown dramatically in size and reputation into the largest and most highly anticipated Jewish cultural and arts event in the Pacific Northwest. From humble beginnings in Seattle’s 100-seat Grand Illusion Theatre to the 800-seat Cinerama Theatre today,SJFF welcomes some 8,000 attendees from across the Greater Seattle area. The Seattle Weekly praises SJFF as the best ethnic film festival in our region, with a breadth and quality second only to the Seattle International Film Festival. Screenings are supplemented by guest speakers, providing a dynamic forum for dialogue with actors, filmmakers, academics and expert panelists from near and far. In recent years, SJFF offerings have included musical and comedy performances, curated exhibits and thematic educational opportunities and special events.
Moviegoers cast their ballots for Best Feature, Best Documentary and Best Short Film, with winners receiving the SJFF Audience Choice Award on Closing Night.”
In Pesach news, Temple Beth Hatfiloh has graciously invited us to their Community Seder on the 2nd Night of Passover, Tuesday March 30th. For Non-Members of the congregation, tickets are $25/adult, $15/child, with additional children being $10 each. A portion of the proceeds will benefit MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger.
