Hillel

Feb 18, 2005 23:26

Tonight I went to Hillel and prayed, like I do many Friday nights. Once in a while, this black man comes to services. I have never spoken to him, and never really knew if he was Jewish or not. Today, the black man comes to services a little late. In the middle of the service, the police come. They go over to the black man and ask him to leave. They tell him that if he doesn't leave ,they'll use a taser. The black guy, who I learned tonight is named Moshe, wouldn't budge. He goes on about he's jewish, and he has the right to worship wherever he may please, he's an Israeli citizen, who served in the Israeli army.....He even says he'll take out his passport. In the end the two cops grabbed hime buy his legs and arms and take him downstairs. While being carried downstairs, he started seeing the Israeli national anthem. Everyone was in shock. Melanie, the Hillel director, said he has a lot of issues, and Hillel can't help him, and maybe she mentioned something about telling him not to come. I don't know. She explained to someone the entire story, but I didn't hear it.
Other than that, the day has been uneventful. I hear the phone ring around 9, and missed it. I got out of bed and saw it was my mom, so I called her back. This was the earliest I have waken up all semester. Since I was up, I did some research, went to Einstein's, the post office, my advisor, Thaggard, dirac science library and strozier to get stuff for my research paper. I go home two weeks from today. I also have lots of tests to study for and work i need to do for this week. Its almost midnight and i feel kinda sleepy. I'm surprised. My roommate went home yesterday! I get the room to myself. I am very happy about that. Other than that, nothing is going on.
