<p>Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p>In light of the anti-Semitic shootings at Chabad congregation in
Poway yesterday, please note and forward these two events
below--Monday morning and Wednesday noon--to relevant folks. It
would be great to have a good turnout for both events.<br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Cal Community,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks so much to those of you who reached
out to me personally and publicly since the horrible events at
Chabad Poway yesterday morning.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Friends of mine and of my 18 year-old son
were attending services there as events unfolded. They are
still processing their trauma.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My thoughts are with the family and friends
of Lori Gilbert Kaye<span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL" style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><span dir="RTL"></span><span dir="RTL"></span> <sup><span lang="HE">ז׳׳ל</span></sup><sub><span lang="HE"> </span></sub></span>who
lost her life while at prayer on the last day of Passover, and
to the families of Rabbi Yisrael Goldstein, Alomog Peretz and
8 year-old Noya Dahan who are recovering in hospital from
their injuries.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a sad coincidence, Lecturer, Rabbi Scott
Meltzer, was already scheduled to speak in our <b><i>Understanding
Evil</i></b> class (RELS/HUM 411) to discuss modern
anti-Semitism in the post-Holocaust world. In light of the
tragedy yesterday, Dr. Angela Feres and Rabbi Meltzer have
agreed to open up the lecture to all faculty/students. We will
be in <b>Storm Hall West 11, Monday morning from 9-9:50am</b>.
There are about 120 open seats in the hall—I believe it would
be meaningful if we could fill the room to learn together.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additionally, the <b>Jewish Studies
Program</b> is planning a <b>Silent Vigil of Solidarity</b>
to be held on <b>Wednesday May 1<sup>st</sup> (Yom HaShoah,
Holocaust Remembrance Day) at Noon in the courtyard outside
Scripps Cottage</b>.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please come together as a community of
colleagues and friends to stand with us to silently show our
solidarity and rejection of all hate and violence. Additional
details to follow shortly.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, I close with one of the most
touching quotations I’ve encountered over the last terrible
day, from Rabbi Jeffery Meyers of the Tree of Life
Congregation in Pittsburgh; “The words of ‘never again’ have
disappeared from my language. They’ve been replaced with ‘yet
again.’ And so it is that we stand here, yet again, at this
corner, as one united community.”<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely,<u></u><u></u></p>
