Put Some Parsha in Your Pancakes
With Kayla Reisman
There are several types of Hillel events: engagement driven events like bagel brunches and coffee hours, Israel related programs, Jewish holiday celebrations, etc. But at the end each program, what have the participants gained? What will they take away from these events? In this session you will learn how to incorporate elements of Jewish education into your Hillel events so that people come away with a deeper understanding of Jewish knowledge and their Jewish selves.
