On October 2nd i visited the Hillel at Baruch, Hillel’s main mission is to get jewish students at Baruch and all over the world closer to their jewish culture and religion. Hillel clubs, nationally, are in most universities to give Jewish people on campus a sort of home type of feeling. They inspire people to engage with other jewish students here at Baruch, and help them learn to inspire others at Baruch. when i walked in it was this little cramped room that had so many people walking in and out, people learning, people teaching it looked like something i wanted to be apart of. they offer kosher food every day, which helps out the kids here at Baruch that keep kosher food and do not need to shlep lunch with them everyday. it also acts as a social meet up for all jews on Baruch campus to come hang out and it is right next door to the ping pong game game room. There are also some people that have offices there that you can make appointments with and talk with them about school, questions on religion, and even just talk to get to know another jew. There is also such a great feeling knowing that there is a place at Baruch that can care to your special needs with open arms. Hillel envisions a world where every student is inspired to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning and Israel.
