From Sarah: What I love about being Jewish at the University of Rochester is the sense of family and community that it brings be. I have experienced a more thriving Jewish community here than I have ever before in my life and I am so happy and grateful to be a member of this family.

Hometown: Potomac, MD

From Andrew: I am really excited to be helping out Hillel this year in recruiting for Birthright Israel. I had never really felt a strong cultural connection to Judaism until I came to the U of R, joined AEPi, started going to Hillel/Chabbad events on campus, and ultimately traveled to Israel on Birthright Israel. By helping spread the value I found in Birthright Israel to other students on campus I feel like I can have a hand in shaping their Jewish identities as well. I look forward to continuing this for the coming months.
