“Growing up, my Jewish community influence was very small and although I found value within celebrating holidays and shabbat with my immediate family I was unable to connect with other Jewish people until I came to college and participated in Hillel events. I am so grateful for this organization and the people I met, both students and Hillel professionals for helping me to strengthen my Jewish culture within my life and build a Jewish community here in San Francisco, and hopefully continue to build one around the world.”
