SHALOM!We have heard from our students and young adults that Hillel is: Warm and welcoming… This was my first event at Hillel. I felt welcomed by Hillel veterans and newcomers like me.

A home away from home… I’m not with family out here, and I was very happy…to attend a Seder with other people.

A safe place to explore different opinions, experiences and interests... Having such diversity come together all in one building really moved me. For all our differences, we are but one people.

Hillel UW lives these values. Your generous support indicates that you also feel strongly about ensuring that everyone who walks through our doors feels that this is “their place.” Together, we have built and are sustaining a blessed place for young adults in our community.

The year at Hillel UW always begins the same way, we greet incoming freshmen and reconnect with returning students. As this perpetually new mix of young people forms into a community, enthusiasm builds through the varied programming offered during the year. Undergraduate students and Jconnectors lead, explore, and connect as they navigate the latest chapters of their Jewish journeys.

Each year also develops twists, turns and curveballs that both challenge and teach. As you may know, this past year we experienced a proposed UW student resolution to divest from the State of Israel, much like many other college campuses around the nation. While keeping in mind there is a wide range of sentiments among our constituents regarding Israel, we stood firm that Hillel UW was against such a resolution, and we took action. Hillel UW and its staff served as a resource, advisor, home base, sounding board, facilitator, educator and counselor to the students who stepped up to defeat the resolution. They were successful. After months of extraordinary effort, the resolution was soundly defeated in the UW Associated Student body: 59 against, 8 abstentions and 11 in favor.

This certainly was a challenge to say the least. However, it also served as an incredible learning moment for students: the combination of the political, social, personal, communal, and spiritual selves colliding. Hillel UW was the perfect place for students to come together to talk, listen, and share with one another. It is exactly why Hillel UW is here. And, it is exactly why we value your continued investment and commitment to make sure Hillel UW is here today and will be there in the future as well.

Another highlight from the year was Hillel Fest 2014, our wonderful springtime celebration of our tremendous Hillel UW community, and specifically two long-time volunteers and dedicated supporters, Paul Malakoff and Irv Karl. In the joyful spirit that the event left us, we want to reiterate how much we appreciate you and hope this report leaves you as proud as we are of Hillel UW and the young adults we serve.

Please contact us with any thoughts or questions.

B’Shalom, Rabbi Oren J. Hayon Mikael KvartGreenstein Family Executive Director President, Hillel UW Board of Directors

TACOS AND TORAH Rabbi Oren led a bi-weekly conversation on Jewish topics while students enjoyed free tacos. Themes explored through these sessions included: prison reform, race, ethical kashrut, peoplehood, and relationship violence.

TAGLIT-BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL During summer 2013, Hillel UW sent two full busses of 40 undergraduates and 40 Jconnectors to Israel for the first time through Taglit-Birthright Israel.

JCONNECT SUKKOT FARM-TO-TABLE DINNER Jconnectors celebrated Sukkot at Bradner Gardens with a farm-to-table dinner. Attendees explored the Jewish values and traditions around food, agriculture, sustainability, social justice, and celebration.

JCONNECT SHA-BOAT SHALOM During this sold-out event, Jconnectors enjoyed a potluck Shabbat dinner aboard a boat on Lake Union.

PRESSING ISSUES Students and Jconnectors discussed pressing social justice issues while pressing apples to make fresh cider.

MEET MARISSA FREEMAN

Originally from Hawaii, Marissa was looking for a college experience that included more Jews. She selected the University of Washington. As a first year student, Marissa was introduced to Hillel by a friend she knew from summer camp. They attended a Yom Kippur service together, and Marissa was hooked. She immersed herself in all Hillel had to offer from the weekly Tacos and Torah conversations and Shabbat dinners to internship opportunities.

Marissa explains, “Hillel became my home away from home. It was a place to come to where I felt welcomed. I wasn’t the only Jew in the room anymore.”

She credits Hillel staff with helping her build confidence as well as create a community of friends. “They were my mentors…like sisters to me,” Marissa shares.

During her senior year, Marissa served as a student representative to Hillel’s Board of Directors. She appreciated bringing her passion for Hillel to the Board as well as helping form policy and giving input behind the scenes. Marissa continued her loyalty to Friday night Shabbat dinners as well. She laughs as she relays how her group of friends had a competition each week to see who could bring the most people to Shabbat dinner.

When asked about graduating this past June, Marissa feels nostalgic thinking about her time at Hillel. At the same time, she is excited about her new job where she uses the marketing skills she learned as a Hillel intern. And, Marissa is relieved that “it’s not over.” The “it” Marissa is referring to is her connection with Hillel. She is now an active participant in Jconnect, Hillel UW’s program for 21-35 year old Jews in the Seattle area. Much like her time in Hillel, Marissa is jumping in already, serving on the Jconnect board representing new college graduates.

“I felt accepted during all the phases of my college career. I feel so lucky that I walked into Hillel.” Likewise Marissa, we feel lucky you walked into Hillel too!

How was Hillel there for you? #HillelUW

FROM HILLEL TO JCONNECT: IT’S NOT OVER YET

BAGEL CLUB ON CAMPUS Bagel Club helped students start their week off right with fresh bagels and schmear every Monday morning during the academic year. On average, 40 students attended weekly, and lingered past the bagels for schmoozing.

MEET PAUL CHODOSH

Moving from Minneapolis to Seattle for work two and a half years ago, Paul was eager to meet other young Jewish professionals. At the recommendation of a friend, Paul attended a Jconnect Seattle Welcome to Town Happy Hour and later that week attended a 2nd Friday Shabbat dinner at Hillel. What Paul found was a “wonderful Jewish community and a new home away from home.”

He has since participated in a gourmet Passover Seder organized by Jconnect as well as a powerful book reading event with Thomas Buergenthal, a childhood survivor of Auschwitz and retired Judge from the International High Court of Justice on The Hague.

Paul has also taken on organizing activities for Jconnectors that combine his passion for outdoor adventures with his new community of friends. Events have included a hike through Discovery Park followed by brunch, stand-up paddle boarding, and skiing. Paul is very nonchalant about his leadership within Jconnect, but Director Elise Peizner has no shortage of compliments for him. She says that she can call on Paul for anything and he always delivers. Needless to say, Paul is now on the Jconnect advisory board where he can no longer deny the impact of his involvement.

Paul got Jconnect-ed. How do you Jconnect? #JconnectSeattle

NEW TO SEATTLE?: GET JCONNECT-ED

ALTERNATIVE SPRING BREAK IN CHICAGO

Hillel UW students spent their spring break learning about urban poverty in Chicago. Students worked closely with local community organizations and met other young adults living their values through working or volunteering to address issues such as homelessness.

Alternative Breaks provide an opportunity for students to combine travel, learning, and service. These short-term immersion experiences are modeled on the philosophy of community engagement and the Jewish ideal of Tikkun Olam.

ART EXHIBITS

While a work of art in its own right, the Hillel UW building has dedicated wall space to display collections. Exhibits feature Jewish-themed art often created by our students and young adults. In 2013-2014, Hillel UW showed:Images of Siberia by Alica Gray, inspired by a 2011 Jconnect/JDC trip to Russia’s Far East, Siberia My Israel: A Photo Exhibit By Israelis, curated by Tal Goshen-Gottstein, Jewish Agency Israel Fellow to Hillel 2013-2014

Know a talented artist seeking exhibit space? Contact Josh Furman, Hillel UW Director of Programs and Strategy, at 206.527.1997.

TEEN FEED

As part of our commitment to social justice, students and Jconnectors prepare and serve monthly meals to homeless teenagers at Hillel. This past year, 79 students and Jconnectors participated in the program.
