Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DTC

Hillel Club

I recently got the opportunity to check out the Hillel club here at Baruch. I am Jewish but I was never really in touch with my roots. So I decided to check this club out. A man named Ilya introduced us to the club. He talked about all the different holidays such as Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot which ended today. We also got to eat some Jewish food and snacks that I remember my grandma making me when I was little. It was interesting to see the amount of Jewish culture that Baruch has. I did not expect for many people to be there but I was wrong. The guy Ilya had an interesting past. He mentioned his involvement in the Iraq War thirteen years ago and showed us various images of other soldiers in combat. It was more fun than I expected and I will probably see myself coming back here soon.
