Beit Hillel<br />
Y in JV1<br />
For over 30 years, Beit Hillel has served both Israeli and Overseas students as a social, cultural, and<br />
religious center. Beit Hillel’s multi-faceted programs and activities for overseas students this year<br />
have included lectures, seminars, theater productions, parties, and much more. Beit Hillel also<br />
serves as a resource center for connecting with Israeli society, programming on campus, and what to<br />
do in Israel. Overseas students also enjoy the use of Hillel’s facilities, which include a music/reading<br />
room with English and Hebrew newspapers and magazines, pianos, and a video center where movies<br />
and TV shows were watched.<br />
Hillel Scholars<br />
The Hillel Scholars program is designed for 15<br />
leaders of Hillel in North America who are currently<br />
studying in Israel. The scholars continue<br />
in the development of their leadership skills and<br />
serve as the leadership for programming at Hillel<br />
at Hebrew University. Each scholar chooses a<br />
project they are interested in working on. This<br />
year, the scholars have designed, created and<br />
implemented a wide variety of exciting programs:<br />

Hiking Club<br />
Hillel’s Rosh Chodesh group met at the beginning of each Hebrew month to celebrate the new<br />
month. Every four weeks, ten to twenty women gathered to mark the holiday when the moon<br />
changes, a time which is associated with women. The group learned about the holidays in each<br />
month through discussions and projects. In Shevat, the group planted parsley to celebrate Tu<br />
B ’Shevat. In Iyar, the group discussed issues of being female in Israel in honor of Yom<br />
Ha’atzmaut. The women formed bonds with each other and enjoyed meeting every month.
