University careers exist as often in cyberspaz as cyberspace. However, along with the seemingly endless, greulling hours of study; mind-bending exams, and bad coffee. Campus Life does have its moments. Parties, dancing, clubbing or pub-hipping with friends, spring break, and social and philanthropic organizations all add dimension to these years.
For Jewish students, University is often an opportunity to fully realize the breadth and scope of Jewish Culture and Faith. Most importantly, it is often the first -and last- touch stone where "Jewish" might be integrated into "lifestyle".
Orange JUiC's mission is to provide not only academic resources and support, but that most precious encouragement to commit to a "Jewish Lifestyle" in and beyond university. To this end, Orange JUiC provides information to every denomination, political, and secular organization we come across. There is a niche in the Jewish world for everyone: Orthodox, Conservative [Masorti], Reconstructionist, Humanistic Judaism, Progressive [Reform], *Extremely* Refom, Secular, and even Atheists[sic].
Aside from websites, Orange JUiC's resources span as many functions and utilites as possible, including Usenet and Mailing Lists information which should help you to plan an introductory strategy for both areas of the Internet. There are even a few s-mail pointers when no other option is available.
Please sit back, roll and click, and generally enjoy the ride, "nuestra casa es suya", in the language of my 'buelitos.
Many campus organizations maintain newsgroups. If your ISP's news reader does not carry a particular newsgroup of interest to you try writing your site administratour requesting its addition. JUiC also maintains an infomative tutourial
israel.jobs.resume
In today's desk-to-world virtual office, this is a fine place for those
condisering Aliya to post a resume. Usenet offers a thousands of job newsgroups. Two other job resources for Israel:
israel.jobs.misc which recieves postings for all variety of work opportunities, and israel.jobs.offered which is the posting area for professional positions. The Computer Jobs in Israel page is a well maintained, ever up-to-date resource.
