Support QC Hillel Programming
The amazing programs and services provided by
Queens College Hillel are made possible by
your support.
A Special Message from
Hillel International President Wayne
Firestone
If you want to see the Jewish world in a
microcosm, visit Queens College in New York
City. The campus is one of many schools in
the Hillel movement that is a mosaic of
Jewish communities: Orthodox, unaffiliated,
Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Israelis, Americans,
Persians, Syrians, Russians,
Georgians...you name it.
[In early December] I had the pleasure of
visiting the campus with the chairman of
Hillel's International Board of Governors
(BOG), Edgar M. Bronfman, and his son, BOG
member Adam Bronfman. Our host, Hillel
Executive Director Moshe Shur, introduced us
to Jewish students on campus from a wide
variety of backgrounds and to university
president James L. Muyskens. President
Muyskens pointed to the celebratory pluralism
of Queens College Hillel as an example for
the campus at large, where the student
population is even more diverse.
Queens College Hillel works because it is an
environment of openness, cooperation and mutual
respect... Through our example and our work,
Hillel is an indispensable resource for
universities in
promoting debate and coexistence.

Dear Friends at Hillel,
Shana tova and Happy Sukkot!
I am writing to let you know that the
web-based application for the Wexner Graduate
Fellowship/Davidson Scholars Program is now
open.
This fellowship is available to people
entering graduate school for the purpose of
becoming Jewish professionals serving
communities in North America. We are looking
for promising future rabbis, Jewish
educators, administrators, Hillel
professionals, cantors, Jewish studies
professors, entrepreneurs, and artists etc.
to become part of our community of leaders.
The Wexner Fellowship provides up to 3
years of funding and a 4-year leadership
development program to 20 fellows while they
are in their graduate programs. The benefits
of participating in this fellowship will
enrich your students professionally and
personally throughout their lives.
As a Hillel professional who daily
inspires Jewish college students about Jewish
life you are in the best position to let your
students know about this opportunity. I hope
that you will encourage promising students to
consider a career in Jewish life, to go to
graduate school, and to apply for the Wexner
Fellowship.
Please direct your students to our
website at www.wexnerfoundation.org
so that
they can learn more about this fellowship and
consider applying. Also, I know that graduate
school may be an option for some of your
staff or maybe even you. If this is the case,
I encourage you and/or your staff to consider
applying as well.
I am available to answer any of your
questions or speak with potential applicants
about this program.
My contact
information is below.
Have a wonderful Sukkot.
Sincerely,
Or
Or Mars
