...highly participatory services. Both Hillel and the Chabad House also served family-style meals and break-fasts which were free to all undergraduates. If the authors felt alienated by the Reform services on Rosh Hashana, they should have made the effort to visit the services of another community on Yom Kippur. The Harvard Jewish community is among the most vibrant you will find at any university, but not if you blindly shut your self off to the myriad religious options that surround...

...This week - as every year, the Thursday before Thanksgiving - we celebrate the Great American Smoke-out. It is the anticigarette lobby's holy day of obligation, the Good Friday of bad habits, the Yul Brynner Yom Kippur, when the largest tobacco-producing nation on earth tries to get the 25% of adults who still smoke to quit for a day, but not so many to endanger the state and local revenue from cigarette taxes (something like $6 a pack in New York City...
