Actually...

This is pretty cool.

I've attended three panels today (now, well rested, it's not TOO surreal) and they've been pretty friggin KEWL!

First I went to a panel on the new Mel Gibson (PASSION) flick, and how to approach it on campus, and it turned out that the speaker was ROSANNE CATALANO, one of the most amazing ladies I know. She runs a group called the Institute of Jewish-Christian Studies. A friend of my mom's from church!

Then I attended a conversation on Midrashim in art, by the coolest rabbi I've met in years, Hyim Shafner. So dang smart. So much like poetry. I wanted to go to school, sitting there and discussing the many meanings for the Hebrew word for laughter. So fun.

And then I bumbled along to the Interfaith Panel, which rocked my world. I was introduced to the Interfaith Outreach Group, which is what I want to do when I grow up. Who knew?

So all in all, this is a good thing, this Hillel conference.

We'll have to find out next week just how many people I've offended.

It turns out, "wronghalf Jew" is a bad word. It turns out, the Jewish community is not quite as excited about Chrisma-kah as I am

Eh!
