Dear Friends,

In light of the spirit of Lent and the screening of James Carroll's Constantine's Sword this past week, I would like us to reflect on the Christian history of anti-semitism as I spoke about it in my sermon of 2/24.  I would also commend the exhibit on the Dreyfus Affair noted below, brought to campus by Hillel House.  As always, I invite your written and spoken reflections on all of these events and ideas.

Love,

Bob Hill
