Be part of a new tradition, as Texas A&M hosts its annual Crypto-Jewish Symposium. This exciting event was launched last April at the Evans Library here at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, for a 2 day symposium with many distinguished guests and contributors. Our thanks is owed to last year's sponsors:

• Hillel Student Foundation
• Cushing Memorial Library
• Melbern G. Glassock Center for Humanities Research
• Office of the Vice President and Associate Provost for Diversity
• Development and Public Relations Office Texas A&M University Libraries
• Department of Hispanic Studies
• Library Diversity Committee
• Sterling C. Evans Library Endowment
• Department of Multicultural Services

You can download the program booklet from the last conference to see who was present and what was discussed, and we hope soon to have videos of the seminars posted here as well. We look forward to another stimulating agenda this coming spring in 2009.

For information about how you can be part of this year's event, please contact Rabbi Peter Tarlow, at the Hillel Foundation at TAMU. We look forward to hearing from you and welcome your participation and involvement!
