SUMMARY:Create College Shabbat Starter Kits with Hillel
DESCRIPTION:Registration is closed. \nCommunity teens are invited to visit a local college Hillel to get an inside look at Jewish life on campus. They’ll meet student leaders\, learn how Hillel builds community\, and explore what Jewish engagement can look like in a college setting.
