Over the course of his 60 years, Christopher Hitchens has been a citizen of both the United States and the United Kingdom. He has been both a socialist opposed to the war in Vietnam and a supporter of the U.S. war against Islamic extremism in Iraq. He has been both a foreign correspondent in some of the world’s most dangerous places and a legendary bon vivant. He is a fervent atheist, raised as a Christian, by a mother whose Jewish heritage was not revealed to him until her suicide. He has now written a searing memoir entitled Hitch 22 that lays bare these many contradictions and affirms his conviction that all personal is also political.

Tzedakah Trip to Ecuador for Middle Schoolers and Recent Alumni: Interested?
South Campus Principal Jonathan Harris has recently begun to explore the possibility of taking a group of current and former Leo Baeck students to Ecuador in the spring of 2011.
The trip would take place during the second week of the Passover break, approximately April 21-30th, 2011, and would be open to students in Grades 7 through 10.
The trip's focus would be the construction of a school in an Andean village, and would also include Free the Children leadership training and some sightseeing experiences. It would build on the students' commitment to Tikkun Olam as well as enhance their global awareness, which is espoused in the IB curriculum.
The trip would be approximately 8 or 9 days, and the cost would likely be in the $3000 range.
Mr. Harris's previous experience on a similar trip was among the highlights of his teaching career, and the students with whom he shared the experience have described it as a life-changing one.
Please join Mr. Harris for an information session on Wednesday, June 9, 2010 @ 7 p.m. in the Beit Midrash. For more information or if you have questions, please email Mr. Harris at jharris@leobaeck.ca.
