I remember when I decided to go to Baruch my brother told me to immediately find the Hillel. He told me that it was a great place to not only socialize and meet other Jews, but also a great place to find free Kosher food. I didn’t know where the club room was at first during the clubfest on convocation day. However, because I wore a kippah, the president of Hillel noticed me and my friend below and lead us to the Hillel room. Immediately, I was welcomed with open arms. Many people approached me and asked me; where I’m from?, what high school did I go to?, what teachers do you have? They immediately gave me tips on some of my harder teachers, and even offered to give me their old textbooks for free! Now, everytime when I want to talk to someone, I know there will always be someone there to talk to

Our first meeting was in room 4-125 on August 31st. The president and staff introduced themselves to us and introduced us all the clubs that are affiliated with the Hillel at Baruch. For example, the Tamid club,  a club that gives students real business experience through an investment fund. They spoke about this weekend trip to washington where college students get to speak to many influential political speakers. They even served delicious kosher food. The second meeting I went to was on September 7th. The Hillel brought a woman with an incredible story. This woman told us the story of how she survived cancer not once, but twice. She told us of how she balanced out her songwriting career with her chemotherapy. It really got me thinking how much I have taken life for grant
