All Shuk Up!

shuk2

Last night was our Annual Jewish Night Market, or Shuk, and we served nearly a thousand students– many who were not Jewish. We had over 20 booths featuring Jewish food from around the world. Each Booth also had content about that Jewish community and its connection to Israel. This program is one of our strongest outreach efforts as it invites others to learn and appreciate the richness of the Jewish experience while empowering Jewish student leadership and Jewish pride. 

I can explain more but a picture is worth a thousand words so check out some of last night:

Thank you for being a part of Peace in Israel Week. This work is only possible because community members like you invest in Hillel. 

Now, onto our Israel Week Shabbat and some rest! 

Shabbat Shalom, 

Karen

Other Stories From Hillel

Hey, it’s up to YOU

Last night at the Welcome Back BBQ, students planted their legacy tree in the backyard to memorialize those lost on October 7th and in the war. SDSU President Adela de la Torre was in attendance and spoke about how students were able to show up as leaders and leave a lasting legacy on their community through Hillel.

Supporting Students and Learning Together in 2024

January 12, 2024

Welcome to 2024! As we launch into the second half of our year, we continue to be hyper-focused on supporting students. This is done through a multitude of strategies.

First and foremost, we focus on imbuing pride in being Jewish. That looks like joyful shabbats, social bonfires, opportunities for lots of laughing…and lots of good food. Programs of joy are possible BECAUSE you support Hillel. Your generosity funds their joy.

What will Hillel look like in 2024?

“Dos pintele yid, ‘that little point of a Jew,’ refers to that spark of Jewishness in each of us that we can’t quite manage to ignore, no matter how hard we may try,” writes Sarah Hurwitz.

Dos pintele yid has been on our minds at Hillel every day, especially now. Our organization has radically expanded after October 7th. This is not a crisis. This is the new normal, and what it means to be Jewish on campus has also changed.
