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.
What has been your favorite Hillel event?
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
