I recently visited the Hillel at Baruch College. It is located on the 3rd floor right next to the game room. I walked in and was greeted with smiles and handshakes. The people there comforted me and were eager to learn about my Jewish background. I told one person how I just recently went to see the concentration camps in Poland and we got into a discussion about his grandmother and how she survived the Holocaust. I then proceeded to learn one chapter in the bible with one of the rabbis there. This made me feel at home as I have been doing this everyday because I went to a Jewish school. I even bumped into some older friends of mine who I went to high school with. I will definitely be visiting the Hillel again. I plan on attending a lecture taught by one of the rabbis there every Wednesday throughout my time at Baruch. I am so grateful that there is a huge Jewish community here at Baruch which is making my transition from high school to college much easier.
