The Jewish Student
Union's culture night gave
a mock tour of Israel
BY COLLEEN MCCLURE
DAILY EMERALD FREELANCE REPORTER
For those who don’t celebrate
Christmas, December can be
quite an exclusive month. Most
houses put up Christmas decorations
and lights, Christmas tree stands
overtake corner parking lots and ad
vertisements for holiday sales and
Christmas gatherings fill newspapers,
televisions and stores.
It may seem like a melancholy
time for people who don’t take part
in the festivities, but for Eugene’s
Jewish community, it can be quite
the opposite.
“Most people think that Hanukkah
is similar to the Catholic’s Christmas,
that it is our one big holiday of the
year. ... Really we have many holi
days that we share with our friends
and family spread throughout the
year, including Passover and the High
Holidays,” said Hadassah Scher, co
director of the Jewish Student Union.
The Jewish Student Union and the
Hillel House are two student groups
that work to provide a foundation for
Jewish campus life.
The Hillel House, which focuses
on the religious aspects of the cul
ture, holds Torah studies and Shabbat
services Friday nights. The JSU,
whose main focus is Jewish culture,
hosts events such as Jewish Culture
Night, the Jewish Film Festival and a
“Matzah Ball.”
On Nov. 18, JSU held its annual
Jewish Culture Night, themed
“Hanukkah and Passport to Israel,”
in the EMU Fir Room. The night
featured a simulated trip around
