Born under the Communist regime and raised in an independent, post-Soviet Ukraine, Jewish identity was not part of Andrey Gorozhankin’s life. That changed after he participated in a Taglit-Birthright Israel: Hillel trip.

“I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about Jewish culture, traditions and way of life – so I decided to come to Hillel,” he says. “Since I started going to Hillel, my life has changed.

CHAPTER

University of Kansas, University sophomore Larissa Gibbs is a veteran community service volunteer, but she found her Tufts University 2009 Hillel Alternative Break trip to Tampa with 70 students from the of Maryland and Tufts to be particularly rewarding. For the first time, she was rehabilitating an existing Larissa Gibbs home and could meet the person she was assisting.

“It was nice to be able to put a face to a home,” she says. “Seeing the owner’s reaction and knowing HILLEL CAN CREATE MEANINGFUL that she appreciates us made me feel more connected to the work that we’re doing. It’s not necessary RELATIONSHIPS AMONG JEWISH to see the direct effects of service work but it’s always really fulfilling when you get to see the results right away.” STUDENTS BY SPONSORING TRIPS AND EVENTS ON CAMPUS WHERE Larissa is on the Tufts women’s rugby team and is a member of the school’s umbrella community service JEWISH STUDENTS CAN COME organization, the Leonard Carmichael Society. But working with fellow Jewish students on service programs is special to her: “When I come together with other Jews I feel a sense of belonging TOGETHER OVER COMMON and comfort. It is great to be able to be a part of a group of people that is committed INTERESTS AND THE DESIRE to helping others without enforcing a system of beliefs on anyone.” TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. Immersive, social justice-oriented programs such as this enable Hillel to reinforce students’ Jewish identity and to expose uninvolved students to the breadth of their Jewish civilization. These transformative opportunities are a core Hillel strategy for giving students meaningful Jewish experiences.

Taglit-Birthright Israel trips, which brought 4,000 within students In addition to 130 Alternative Breaks to Israel, in 2009 Hillel offered over North America and abroad, often in partnership with groups such as the American Jewish World Service and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. Thanks to Hillel, which organized over 70 percent of Alternative Break experiences, and its partners, more than 2,300 students engaged in social justice work and Jewish learning during their college break. Among these trips were programs in the hurricane-damaged communities of the Gulf Coast, where Hillel’s 3,100 students have contributed more.

Hillel is more than Alternative Breaks and community service to Larissa. “I most enjoy spending the holidays at Hillel,” she explains. “The services and meals that Hillel offers are invaluable to us while we are away from home and allow me to stay in touch with my Judaism. Hillel can create meaningful relationships among Jewish students by sponsoring trips, like the one to Tampa, and events on campus where Jewish students can come together over common interests and the desire to serve the community.”

in rural Upstate New York is more than the Jewish community on campus: I THINK ALL PEOPLE, REGARDLESS Hillel at Colgate University It’s the only Jewish community for 30 miles in any direction. If the role of Hillel executive director is OF BACKGROUND, ARE SEARCHING important on another campus, it’s all the more important at Colgate. FOR MEANING AND A CONNECTION TO SOMETHING LARGER THAN OURSELVES. Rabbi David Levy relishes his job as Hillel director and campus chaplain at this private university whose JUDAISM HAS A UNIQUELY MEANINGFUL 2,700 undergraduates include just 400 Jewish students. “What is amazing about working with a smaller Jewish population is that the community takes nothing for granted, we really need each other to thrive. APPROACH TO ANSWERING THESE This goes for the students, the faculty and the community as well,” he explains. “This means closer QUESTIONS. HILLEL PROVIDES THE interactions between Jewish people of all ages and backgrounds working together to create the wonderful Hillel’s Small and CONTEXT FOR CONNECTING Jewish community we enjoy at Colgate.” STUDENTS WITH OUR RICH Last year Colgate Hillel was included, a program in the first designed group to of helpseven a selectschools group to participate of smaller in campuses more fully TRADITION. of Excellence Mighty Campuses engage their Jewish students. Hillel professionals participated in special training conferences and received Alternative Break grants for their campuses. This was but one of many programs provided by Hillel to invest in the success of Hillel foundations and to hire, train and retain high quality Hillel professionals.

Unlike many organizations, Hillel does not require local affiliates to pay dues to the international body. Instead, Hillel’s Charles and Lynn Schusterman International Center provides grants and trainingAccelerate opportunities to local Hillels and their staff. In 2009, Hillel gave $9.6 million in grants and allocations to campuses — the same amount as the year before, despite the global recession. In addition, Hillel provided high-level, person-to-person coaching to sharpen the skills of executive directors and inaugurated the program to help assistant directors learn the skills they need to advance their career and lead a Hillel.

Colgate’s Rabbi Levy believes that the key to forging meaningful relationships with students is taking the time to learn about what really makes them tick: “Once you have that information you can begin to relate to each student where they are. If we hope to help students take the next steps in their Jewish journeys, we need to know where they are today.”

This approach worked with Sara, a student who did not have a Jewish education. On arriving at Colgate she became involved in the Jewish community, learned Hebrew and participated in a Hillel Alternative Break. Rabbi Levy is now helping her to celebrate her bat mitzvah this December on campus and on a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip.

“I think all people, regardless of background, are searching for meaning and a connection to something larger than ourselves,” Rabbi Levy says. “Judaism has a uniquely meaningful approach to answering these questions. Hillel provides the context for connecting students with our rich tradition.”

Boyanna Grubeshich became a Jewish educator the hard way: As a refugee from war-torn Croatia she sought a meaningful Jewish identity and found it in Hillel.

Boyanna fled Croatia’s ethnic violence with her family at the age of 12 in 1995. She spent her elementary school and high school years in the Goldstein Youth Village in Israel, a residential school for new immigrants and others. While she was in university after her army service, Boyanna Grubeshich Boyanna worked with European Jewish children in summer camps in Hungary. I “Every summer at camp I met young Jews and discussed questions of identity,Tel Aviv ethical University issues BECAUSE I COME FROM A and community building,” she explains. “I would come back to Israel and feel that I had no MULTICULTURAL BACKGROUND way to continue my summer experience.

When Israel mounted its defensive action in Gaza, Hillel activists in North America spoke up for Israel on campus and continued pro-active education activities. Jewish Agency for Israel Fellows like Boyanna helped students to find their voice and their Jewish identity.

Why do these young Israelis work on American campuses? Boyanna has her own unique reason. “Because I come from a multicultural background and because I moved from one place to another I had to discover who I am. I think that most of the people in the post-modern world try to understand what’s their story, what’s their identity,” she explains. “By helping others raise these questions I get to answer my own.”

Rabbi David Kasher Rabbi David Kasher had a brilliant idea during his first semester as a Senior Jewish Educator (SJE) at the ULTIMATELY THE WORK OF THE University of California, Berkeley: “Yoga and Torah,” a session of body-stretching followed by spiritual exploration. “Very cool. Very Bay Area. Perfect,” he thought. He was wrong. The students never showed up. SENIOR JEWISH EDUCATOR IS TO CREATE A CULTURAL SHIFT SO THAT It was a false start on Rabbi Kasher’s road to success. THE WHOLE JEWISH COMMUNITY Hillel’s Senior Jewish Educators program places innovative teacher-mentors steeped in Jewish learning on ON CAMPUS COMES TO SEE THAT campuses to develop meaningful relationships with at least 180 Jewish students each and to infuse Jewish JUDAISM IS NOT JUST A SOCIAL content throughout the Hillel enterprise. Funded by the Jim Joseph Foundation, the program grew from five to CLUB, BUT THAT IT IS ALSO AN ten campuses from 2008 to 2009.

Getting to 180 relationships seemed like a steep climb to Berkeley SJE Kasher after his disastrous yoga experience. “I’ve learned that part of the job of the SJE is learning when to let go,” he says.

He let go, but he didn’t let up. Kasher built his network of students gradually. He created a weekly “Philosopher’s Club.” He taught a Jewish identity class in a fraternity. He participated in a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip. He traveled with students to a political convention and explained the Jewish approaches to social justice. He was invited to give credit-bearing courses in the university. Within the year his weekly teaching schedule and his roster of students filled.

Rabbi Kasher takes pride in reaching 180: “My relationship with her symbolized an achievement not just of the number goal, but of a crossing over into a wider kind of impact: My work with unengaged students on campus was successful enough to actually begin trickling back and having an impact on the cultural consciousness at Hillel itself. Ultimately the work of the Senior Jewish Educator is to create a cultural shift so that the whole Jewish community on campus comes to see that Judaism is not just a social club, but that it is also an ongoing, profound conversation about the most important questions of Self, and God, and the World – and that everyone is welcome and able to join this conversation.”
