What do you love about Hillel?
Hillel gives me the perfect outlet to express my Jewish identity, not only on campus, but also in the “outside world.” It’s my Jewish home away from my normally hectic life! I have wanted to become involved in Hillel since I was young, and I am so thrilled to be on the Executive Cabinet with so many talented people!

What do you like to do besides Hillel stuff?
Aside from Hillel, I love to DJ, create websites, work on 3D art and graphic design, read, and spend as much time with friends as possible!

What has been your favorite Hillel event?
I LOVED the Trialogue! It was a wonderful experience to see Jews, Muslims, and Christians all interacting and talking about their religions freely.

Do you have a favorite Jewish food?
All of it!! From falafel to schnitzel to latkes and more!

Chair of Community Service/Social Justice and Social Programming

What do you love about Hillel?
Hillel is my “home away from home.” It has not only allowed me to become more acclimated to campus life especially as a new student at UCF but has allowed me to form great friendships that I know will last a lifetime. Hillel has done so much for me in this regard, and I am very proud to be a new part of the Executive Board to better allow new students to gain the same opportunity as well as to promote my love for Judaism.

What do you like to do besides Hillel stuff?
Besides my active participation with Hillel, I am also a member of Kappa Delta Pi Education Honor Society, Phi Sigma Eta Honor Society, and currently work in the College of Education Dean’s Office.I also love to spend time with my friends and family, play tennis, read, and travel.

My favorite Hillel event is definitely the Jewish Wedding, there is always such a great turnout and it’s a lot of fun!

Do you have a favorite Jewish food?
Falafel and hummus !

I love Hillel because I can meet new people, get involved Jewishly (is that a word?), and celebrate Jewish holidays with other Jewish students that want to learn and be involved.

“I kinda like ‘em all, I guess.” I love “Office Space.” But in all seriousness, Shabbat services probably stick out for me the most!

Brisket, but it’s much better on Channukkahh with latkes
