Beit Hillel Y in JV1 For over 30 years, Beit Hillel has served both Israeli and Overseas students as a social, cultural, and religious center. Beit Hillel’s multi-faceted programs and activities for overseas students this year have included lectures, seminars, theater productions, parties, and much more. Beit Hillel also serves as a resource center for connecting with Israeli society, programming on campus, and what to do in Israel. Overseas students also enjoy the use of Hillel’s facilities, which include a music/reading room with English and Hebrew newspapers and magazines, pianos, and a video center where movies and TV shows were watched. Hillel Scholars The Hillel Scholars program is designed for 15 leaders of Hillel in North America who are currently studying in Israel. The scholars continue in the development of their leadership skills and serve as the leadership for programming at Hillel at Hebrew University. Each scholar chooses a project they are interested in working on. This year, the scholars have designed, created and implemented a wide variety of exciting programs: Hillel Scholars / UJA Fellows greeting immigrants from Crimea Fall Marla Bennet Jessica Bodack Karen Eltis Aileen Goldstein Elisheva Gould Bonnie Miluso Eyal Mintz David Schildkret Steven Shafir Sarah Sherwood Ben Taylor Joshua Weinberg Seth Wikas Ami Wise Women’s Group by Marla Bennett Women’s Group and Rosh Chodesh Celebrations Grains of Sand Literary Magazine Supreme Court Visit Fall Semester Unity Shabbat, Spring Semester Mock Elections Post-Pesach Pizza Party, Grains of Sand Literary Magazine Salame Volunteer Projects Tuesday Night Lecture Series Pippin (Theatrical Production) Hiking Club, Hillel Website Art Show, Spring Semester Unity Shabbat Yom HaShoah Programming Recycling, Mock Elections OSReport Hiking Club Hillel’s Rosh Chodesh group met at the beginning of each Hebrew month to celebrate the new month. Every four weeks, ten to twenty women gathered to mark the holiday when the moon changes, a time which is associated with women. The group learned about the holidays in each month through discussions and projects. In Shevat, the group planted parsley to celebrate Tu B ’Shevat. In Iyar, the group discussed issues of being female in Israel in honor of Yom Ha’atzmaut. The women formed bonds with each other and enjoyed meeting every month.
Unity Shabbatonim by Aileen Goldstein This year saw the first ever Hebrew Unity Shabbatonim, the pluralist, on-campus weekend seminars for overseas students involved in all different walks of Jewish life. The two Shabbatonim, one first semester and one second semester, focused on the ways to unite the Jewish community without the use of labels and titles. Everyone had a good time eating, davening, discussing and spending Shabbat together. This was the first time all of the different campus religious groups got together to coordinate an event to unite everyone. The weekend served to breakdown misconceptions and uninformed perceptions of various religious practices and movements. Thanksgiving Dinner This past November, over 200 <strong>Rothberg</strong> International students ate turkey and stuffing and danced the night away at the Dan Pearl Hotel. At what other Thanksgiving could you do Israeli dancing??? This gala dinner was sponsored by UJA and Hillel. “This year’s Thanksgiving dinner was the best Thanksgiving I ever had. I really enjoyed celebrating with all my friends in Jerusalem,” said Steven Shafir, a participant.
