I attended the Baruch Hillel for my club. Choosing to visit the Hillel, I was immediately introduced to the club leader, who was extremely kind and welcoming. I felt very comfortable at the Hillel, and they told me about opportunities to get involved. I was also informed that they offer food every day to club members, and sometimes a fellow pier even gives a 5 minute speech pertaining to the weekly Bible portion. I look forward to hearing these speeches in the future, and learning more about Judaism. It is also nice to know I have a place to go and relax when I want to hang out somewhere on the vertical campus. I am so fortunate that I was able to discover all of the amazing resources Hillel at Baruch has to offer!
Finding cultural clubs/organizations on campus is literally the best. Sometimes we think that because teachers can’t talk about religion that we as student can’t but that is so wrong at Baruch. I’m glad that your few moments at the Hillel club was welcoming and that they gave you food because was it a club if they don’t provide you food when you first meet them. Jake, I hope that you do stick with this club and most importantly that you learn more about Judaism because religion is one of our core values.
