President Herbst talks Hillel at The Harmonie

The University of Connecticut Hillel recently sponsored an informative luncheon for more than 50 alumni, friends, and patrons at the Harmonie Club in New York City.

This first time event  offered the community at large to learn about the UConn Hillel and its student community. Previously, communication has been through personal phone calls, emails, or gatherings within Hartford County 

At the luncheon, speakers included Shari Cantor, president of the board of directors, Executive Director Gary Wolff, students Jessica Anavim, Chantal Ghalchi, and Lauren Kirshblum. The keynote address was given by president of the University, Susan Herbst.

Each speaker detailed the imperative nature of UConn Hillel at the University for sustaining a vibrant Jewish community for the next generation. Students spoke of how Hillel has impacted their college experience. It is through storytelling that the true importance of the UConn Hillel is understood.
