FYSH (First Year Students of Hillel) celebrated Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish new year for the trees, with a variety of fruit and chocolate.
Participants made fruit kabobs, and each decorated and planted a flower pot with a variety of herbs and flowers such as chamomile, lavender, sage, and mint.
Tu B’Shevat is an ecological holiday designed to remind Jews of our connection to the earth and to our role as caretakers of the environment.
“Studying Torah at Hillel was a great opportunity to meet a wide variety of Jewish graduate students, experience some of the diversity within Judaism, and develop strong, trusting relationships.” – Sam, UCSD Class of 2025
“Hillel gave me a platform through Tritons for Israel. I spoke at student government meetings and wrote three articles. Hillel made that possible.” – Ellia, UCSD Class of 2025
“Through Hillel, I found a Jewish community of people my age where real connection came naturally—and where friendships felt deep, genuine, and lasting.” – Ava, USD Class of 2025
