A fun semester is now over. Our offices will be operating with a limited schedule over the summer break.
If any of you are around this summer and enjoy outdoor activities with like-minded friends, please take the initiative of joining the Jewish Outdoors Iowa Facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?gid=41932485586. We will be taking trips throughout the Midwest over the summer, and everyone is welcome to join! A big Mazal Tov shout out to all our graduating seniors and departing graduate students! The Hillel community has certainly benefited from your presence at Iowa. We at Hillel wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors and hope you stop by over the years to come.

The Livnot Journey - MASA
The Livnot Journey is a 5-month program, part of the Jewish Agency’s MASA Israel Experience Programs in Israel. The Livnot programs concentrate on community service, hiking and study, seminars and workshops, and incorporate Livnot’s elements of experiential activities of exploring Judaism and Israel in an open and questioning environment. The program is centered in the Northern Israeli town of Tzfat, with a 2-month kibbutz experience built into the program. The cost of the program is $5400, of which you can apply for a $3000 scholarship from MASA, and perhaps find more funding from local sources. Find out more about our Livnot Journey on our website:http://www.livnot.com/pages/5month
