I knew about this organization in high school. The Hillel has expanded to many colleges for (but not entirely) the Jewish people. I knew about this club because it would connect Jewish teens in college. When I walked in Baruch, Hillel was the first place I was looking for. Not only because I was hungry and desperately needed kosher food, but rather because I wanted to meet more people. Hillel, did just that. Right when I walked in (took 30 minutes to find this club), I was greeted by the head of the EBOARD(not the one in the pic, that’s just a random staff). He welcomed me in and told me all about the Hillel.

Hillel is here to bring college students together and have fun at the same time with your brothers. The Jewish connection just makes it better, we all know the same language. The club is also there for me to learn more about Israel, stocks and investments. This club also has like mini clubs in it for me to join, like the Tamid group or the Gesher (Typically for Syrian Jews like me). So when I walked in, I knew this is the perfect fit. I met my Jewish brothers. I felt like I was at home. The program offers so many amazing things that I will love to join and be a part of. Just like last week on Thursday, they brought in a woman who beat cancer and she told her story so we can learn from her. Just like for example to never give up and your family is always there for you. These are life lessons that Hillel teaches and I feel lucky to have this program here to help me, guide me, and help me grow for the rest of my years in college.
