Hillel at Baruch

The Hillel at Baruch is probably the single most important aspect of Baruch to me. Hillel clubs, nationally, are in most universities to give Jewish people on campus a sort of home base. They offer kosher food everyday, daily afternoon prayer services, and most importantly, it is a social meet up spot to meet and hang out with some other Jews on campus. Having the ability to walk into a club and be greeted with open arms to talk about anything whether it is academics, religion or social struggles you may be encountering is amazing. I have heard nothing short of excellent things about Hillel at Baruch and I wanted to check it out for myself. When I first walked in, I immediately saw four familiar faces. I then proceeded on to meeting two or three new people. I became pretty good friends with one of them as well as study in depth about our religion with him once a week after school. When I have a long break in between classes, I will almost always go to the third floor to see if I recognize anyone going towards the Hillel. The Hillel at Baruch is unique and inspiring for Jews who come to Baruch. The feeling you get knowing you always have a place in the building to eat, socialize, pray and just chill is always heartwarming.
