As the holiday season begins, all of us in Residential Life and Housing would like to send along our best wishes for a successful completion to your semester and for a happy and healthy holiday season.
The holiday season is filled with special occasions and traditions which have an impact on our entire community. We would like for everyone to be safe in their observance of the holiday season.
With this in mind, please be reminded that the possession and lighting of any candles in the residence halls is prohibited. We will do our best to accommodate as many observances as possible providing they are safe for the entire community.
For example, this Chanukah season (December 11-19) lighting of candles will ONLY be allowed in the Sulzberger Lobby. In collaboration with Rabbi Yonah and with the help of student volunteers, one Menorah will be lit at the following times:
Friday, December 11: 4-4:30pm
Saturday, December 12 - Thursday, December 17: 5-5:30pm
Friday, December 18: 4-4:30pm
Saturday, December 19: 5-5:30pm
If you need to arrange something for another tradition, please be in touch with housing@barnard.edu so we can assist you. Thanks for your cooperation and we wish you a very happy holiday season.
