• North Carolina Hillel Students Condemn Discriminatory Legislation

  Apr 1, 2016
  The Jewish tradition emphasizes that we are all created b’tzelem elohim, in the image of God, a perspective that obligates us as Jews to look upon people of all races, sexual orientations, creeds, and gender presentations not only as equals, but as representations of the divine. 
  
  This legislation undermines these deeply held tenets, while contradicting the equal protections ostensibly guaranteed to all American citizens and North Carolina residents alike.

• Inspiration and connections at the Statewide Leadership Retreat

  Mar 1, 2016
  The Statewide Leadership Retreat was intense and informative, but more than anything, it taught me that I’m part of a network of Hillel leaders in North Carolina. We’re all here for the same reason: to support each other in making our organizations the best they can be.

• Where is your holy space? How do you give back to it?

  Feb 15, 2016
  That’s the difference between tzedakah and charity: charity we just give. Tzedakah we strive to better ourselves in the process and to better our society as a whole that we live in.

• Birthright Israel | Bus 229 special extension program in Tel Aviv!

  Jan 6, 2016
  What does it mean to be Jewish, and to have a Jewish country? How do we maintain a homeland for the Jewish people that also functions as a democratic state where anyone can live and practice any religion?

• Birthright Israel | Bus 229 from mountains to sea to desert

  Dec 31, 2015
  My concentration halted with the inflow of emotions of the previous days, when I realized at once what a monumental trip this has been. I am eternally grateful my experience here in Israel and am happy that many Jews have the opportunity to see and discover this beautiful country.

• Birthright Israel | Bus 229 connects past and present

  Dec 28, 2015
  Although almost our entire trip has been pure fun and enjoyment, we took a day off of our fun shenanigans to visit Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust Memorial. This was one of the more moving moments of the trip. All of the group seemed very inspired by this visit, where we heard about the personal stories of Holocaust victims and gained a greater perspective on the tragedy.

• Birthright Israel | Bus 229 (finally) begins the adventure!

  Dec 24, 2015
  It took us a while to get here, but since arriving in Israel we’ve been incredibly busy! We landed around 8 p.m. last night after our short layover in Brussels, and started making our way through customs, money exchange, and getting our Israeli phones. From the airport we drove straight to Itay’s kibbutz, Ginosaur, on the Sea of Galilee.
