Hillel Offers Virtual Prep for Incoming Freshmen

Incoming college freshmen can register now to join Hillel International for a free virtual session on Thursday, July 31 at 7 p.m. ET. New students will hear from current Jewish college students about their experiences on campus, learn about ways to get connected to North American Jewish campus communities this fall and hear tips and tricks to prepare for the first week of school. Knowing your new college student has a safe and welcoming space to call “home,” celebrate Shabbat and holidays, learn and live Jewishly is an important part of the transition to come. Through the Annual Campaign, Federation supports eight Florida campus Hillels that provide vibrant centers of Jewish life at universities throughout the state. There is no cost to participate in the virtual meeting, but registration is required here.
