Great spending time with 60 student leaders at our Content Creators Forum at Columbia/Barnard Hillel. This program helps students sharpen their storytelling and social media skills to advocate for Jewish communities and celebrate Jewish life.

Honored to join UNCF, FCAS, President Mason (John Jay), and Troy Vincent (NFL) for our latest Black + Jewish Unity Dinner at CUNY. Teamwork makes the dreamwork when it comes to creating spaces and places for students to grow their relationships and mutual understanding.

Sharing a podcast created by our Executive Director at Elon Hillel, Betsy Polk, focused on the power and practice of partnership. Glad I could share perspective along with Michael Masters, our partner at Secure Community Network! Secure Community Network Hillel ow.ly/3hjK50VNcRA

Energizing Hillel week, bookended by our 18th annual charitable poker tournament in NYC on Tuesday and a great event yesterday at University of Delaware kicking off the public campaign for their new Hillel (Jewish Blue Hens can donate here: delawarehillelcampaign.org)

Had the opportunity to be in conversation with an old friend, Mike Freed, on his podcast 'My First Rodeo' - sharing here for anyone interested: open.spotify.com/episode/00bEbg…

Enjoyed my visit to UCF Hillel. Home to nearly 7,000 Jewish students, its critical that we continue to raise the resources necessary to support vibrant Jewish life through UCF Hillel and to advance the community partnerships and bridge building. Go Knights and Go UCF Hillel!

Welcoming 200+ new professionals at our New Professionals Institute in St. Louis. Despite the heat, it’s been a joy onboarding these future leaders who will build vibrant, inclusive Jewish life on campuses across North America.

What do Rabbis, educators, engagement pros, wellness specialists, and development members have in common? They all joined our incredible cohort-based training at this week’s Hillel International New Professionals Institute!

At Hillel International, we invest in student leaders to build a stronger Jewish future. After meeting our new Student Cabinet- 20 incredible students from 6 countries- I’m more optimistic than ever about their impact on campus and beyond. Shabbat Shalom!
