Berkeley Hillel's Freshman outreach Initiative
$ 9,326

Hillel's programs and activities have been attracting
increasing numbers in recent years, yet many of the
3,500 Jewish students at Cal, especially freshmen, are
still ambivalent at best about becoming involved in
Jewish life. This grant will focus increased energy
on welcoming new freshmen, reaching out to them in a
way that meets their needs, develops relationships with
them and helps them understand that there are no prerequisites
to Jewish involvement.
