Updates from
North Carolina Hillel
Board Chair & Executive Director
Shalom!
Were thrilled to report that its been a year of
transformative growth for North Carolina Hillel!

Erin Rosen
Board Chair

Ari Gauss
Executive Director

With more resources and NC Hillel professional


staff on campuses across the state, were
reaching more students, in more meaningful
ways, than ever before. Weve hired talented staff
members to support student leaders at NC State
University, UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro
and Guilford College, complementing the robust
staff team at Carolina. The immediate impact
of their work, and our strategic plan adopted in
2013, is detailed on the next page.
We are also delighted to announce the hiring of
NC Hillels first full-time campus rabbi in more
than 15 years! Rabbi Ariel Naveh was ordained
from Hebrew Union College in May and began
working for NC Hillel in July. His background in
Israel education and social justice has already
brought a meaningful, grounded Jewish
perspective on a variety of issues to students in
just a few short months on campus.

OVERVIEW OF NC HILLEL
Welcome

This report is filled with stories and photos from our students
adventures at home and abroad. Their personal reflections are the best
way to show just how much your generosity means to our students,
who can always count on a home away from home at Hillel.

Were proud to have something for everyone here. All students are
welcome, regardless of their family or educational background or
level of religious observance. Facilitating a vibrant Jewish campus life
that fits every students interests and potential is our mission at North
Carolina Hillel.
Parents, alumni and friends in the community like you make all of this
work possible. Thank you for your partnership and commitment to our
Jewish students and our Jewish future.
With gratitude,

Strategic plan update


Expanded support for campuses across NC is helping
NC Hillel adapt to the states changing demographics
After an in-depth assessment of NC Hillels strengths and areas for
improvement, NC Hillel adopted a new strategic plan in 2013 to better
support Jewish students across North Carolina.
For many years most Jewish North Carolinians attended UNC-Chapel
Hill, with a small number at NC State or Duke, if they chose to stay in state
for college. But nowadays, as the states demographics change rapidly,
more and more Jewish students are attending other public schools.
It became clear that providing more resources and a stronger
infrastructure to students at the other campuses with the highest
potential for Jewish community growth was critical to building a strong
Jewish future in North Carolina. In addition, we hoped to improve the
depth of the Jewish experience at UNC-Chapel Hill by hiring a full-time
campus rabbi to serve as a Senior Jewish Educator.
Since the adoption of the strategic plan, weve moved full steam ahead
to begin ramping up support for the campuses that desperately needed it.
Weve also worked with several private NC colleges and universities whose
leaders have expressed interest in independently investing in Jewish life on
campus.

Heres what weve accomplished so far:


Hire a part-time staff member to support Jewish students at NC State Hillel (January 2014)
Hire a part-time staff member to support Jewish students at UNC-Charlotte Hillel (September 2014)
Hire a full-time staff member to support Jewish students at UNC-Greensboro and Guilford College
Hillels, in partnership with Guilford College (July 2015)
Hire a full-time rabbi/Senior Jewish Educator at UNC-Chapel Hill Hillel (July 2015)
Hire a part-time staff member to support Jewish students at Appalachian State Hillel (target: July 2016)

Jewish life at

UNC-Chapel Hill
Jewish life at Carolina is vibrant and thriving.
A board of talented student leaders, supported
by four full-time professional program staff
members, plans a variety of programs, social
events and rsum-building leadership
opportunities each semester.
From holiday parties to hamentaschen
baking to the meaningful Ask Big Questions
conversation series, Jewish Tar Heels can
explore their values and identities in their own
unique ways through UNC Hillel.
Along the way, they find a home on campus,
forming lifelong friendships and building a
strong and impactful community.

The student board helped out as servers at a successful


fundraiser to renovate the UNC Hillel dining room and kitchen.

Hamanstaschen with assorted fillings was just one of last years


many cooking and baking projects.

More than 100 students enjoyed a festive Purim party at Top of


the Hill, complete with a silly photo booth perfect for selfies!

MY STORY | Brian Gaynor

UNC HILLEL

UNC-Chapel Hill 16
Rockville, MD

I did not initially plan on becoming hugely involved in UNCs


Jewish community before coming to college, but NC Hillel
made it easy to fall in love with Jewish life on campus. The
students and staff at Hillel welcomed me with open arms from
the beginning of my first year at UNC, and I quickly found myself
coming to Shabbat dinners every week and devoting much of my
time to extracurricular activities with Hillel.
UNC Hillel has provided me with a thriving, multi-faceted
Jewish community that extends far beyond the sanctuary. I have
advocated for peace in Israel with J Street UNC, participated
in discussions about Judaism and social justice, and helped
prepare weekly Friday night dinners, all while building cherished
relationships with other Jewish students. UNC Hillel has been an
integral part of my college journey, helping me to deeply explore
my personal relationship with Judaism. For all of this and more,
I am grateful for everything that UNC Hillel has provided me
during my four years at Carolina.

Jewish life on campus

Across North Carolina


Jewish life at other campuses across North
Carolina has grown dramatically over the past
two years as a result of NC Hillels strategic
plan. With increased support from new NC Hillel
staff members at NC State, UNC-Charlotte,
UNC-Greensboro and Guilford College Hillels,
activities have increased in number and
engagement has deepened significantly.
Students in our statewide network of
campuses enjoy regular Shabbat dinners,
campus speakers, and unique events for their
diverse communities. They also participate on
NC Hillels free Birthright Israel trips, the annual
statewide leadership retreat and more.

UNC-Greensboro Hillel students volunteered to help staff


Beth David Synagogues book sale.

NC State Hillel students welcomed head basketball Coach Mark


Gottfried as the special guest at their bagel brunch.

UNC-Charlotte Hillel hosted the fall semester Statewide


Shabbat dinner with students from campuses across NC.

MY STORY | Zachary Goldberger


NC State 17
Cary, NC

ACROSS THE STATE

There is no other place at NCSU where I feel a part of such a


great, collaborative group. The board members and students
involved have made my time here one to remember. Whether it
is a Shabbat dinner or a weekly event, you know you are going
to have a good time with great friends, many laughs and of
course some tasty food.
The opportunity I have had to be a part of the NCSU Hillel
board has given me many professional skills for my future.
Being able to manage a large group and assist with planning
events is something not many students have the opportunity to
experience in college. The people I have met, worked with and
enjoyed memorable times with will always stick with me as I
continue on my career path.
Hillel is always something I wanted to be involved with, but I
never could have imagined the impact it would have on me.

Experiencing

Birthright Israel

BIRTHRIGHT ISRAEL

Each year, North Carolina Hillel sends 80-120 students on a free, once-in-a-lifetime, 10-day
trip to Israel through Birthright Israel. Each bus of 40 students is composed of students from
campuses across North Carolina as well as eight Israeli peers.
The trip is a whirlwind journey throughout the country, and students have the opportunity to
tour ancient synagogues, explore the Old City of Jerusalem and hip Tel Aviv, float in the Dead Sea,
hike the Golan Heights and much, much more.
Though the trip is exhausting, students return with a deeper sense of Jewish identity and
connection to Israel and theyve made a new, tight-knit group of North Carolina Jewish friends.

440
students from 20
campuses have
gone on NC Hillel
Birthright Israel
trips since 2010

Floating in the Dead Sea is one of the


highlights of every Birthright Israel trip.

Winter 2014 participants took in panoramic


views of the Golan Heights.

Israel on campus
North Carolina Hillel students are committed to exploring their relationships with Israel even when
theyre not traveling on Birthright Israel trips or returning to the country for internships or study abroad.
We were happy to welcome Itay Asaf, who grew up on a kibbutz in the north of the country
and served in the Israeli Defense Forces, as NC Hillels fourth Israel Fellow through a partnership
with the Jewish Agency for Israel. Itay speaks to students across the state about the conflict and
his personal experiences in Israel, working especially closely with students interested in regional
politics to serve as a resource for campus conversations about Israel.
As a sports enthusiast and former basketball coach, Itay has also enjoyed leading a team of
students to compete in the National Hillel Basketball Tournament, and he has hosted weekly
classes to teach students krav maga, the Israeli martial art.
Israeli graffiti
artists were
the highlight
of UNC Hillels
IsraelFest.
They engaged
the whole
campus
community
in painting a
mural of Tar
Heel mascot
Ramses in the
Pit!

UNC Hillel students welcomed well known Israeli DJ, musician


and Tel Aviv University professor Eyal Rob to discuss Tel Avivs
urban music scene and multi-ethnic culture. He even made a guest
appearance on student leader Allana Geoffrions campus radio show!

MY STORY | Laura Feinleib


UNC-Chapel Hill 17
Ellicott City, MD

ISRAEL ON CAMPUS

After completing an incredible Birthright trip with NC Hillel and


hopping around Europe for a few weeks, I headed to Tel Aviv to
begin a two-month internship program coordinated by Onward
Israel for a biotech startup called MobileODT. My experience at
the company granted me hands-on skills I can now tout to future
employers, especially as Israel is known as the Start Up Nation,
home to thousands of hi-tech hubs.
Birthright is a wonderful experience, but 10 days were simply
not enough to understand Israel in its entirety: the good AND the
bad. During Onward, we spoke to members of the ultra-orthodox
community about the religious and secular divide, listened to
heartbreaking stories from Israeli Arabs (we were just yards from
the Gaza strip), and spent a weekend with families who were no
strangers to hearing bomb sirens once a week.
Back at UNC now, I dont want my connection to Israel to end.
Ive been inspired to attend discussions and talks about Israel,
especially in current times when there is so much controversy
surrounding the country. I wouldnt trade this summer in Israel for
the world, and cant wait for the next chance I have to return that
beautiful place I now truly call my home.

Hillel International CEO visits NC


Hillel International President and CEO Eric
Fingerhut made a special visit to North Carolina to
serve as the keynote speaker for the Greensboro
Jewish Federations campaign kickoff event,
whose theme was Jewish life on campus.
Fingerhut, who is the former leader of the Ohio
state university system, also visited UNC-Chapel
Hill to participate in a special lunch followed by
a moderated discussion with UNC-Chapel Hill
Chancellor Carol Folt. Fingerhut and Folt reflected
on interfaith diversity on campus and discussed
the increased controversy about Israel that has
affected many colleges and universities across the
country.

National Hillel Basketball Tournament


NC Hillel Israel Fellow Itay Asaf led a team of
NC Hillel students to compete in the studentled National Hillel Basketball Tournament at the
University of Maryland after several months of
training. UNC-Chapel Hill senior Brian Gaynor
helped recruit teammates and served as the
teams captain.
Teams from 27 different Hillels across the
country competed in the weekend-long
tournament, which was kicked off by a Shabbat
dinner hosted by the University of Maryland Hillel
and attended by more than 600 guests.

Of blessed memory

Leonard Kaplan zl (1928 - 2015)

Miriam Brenner zl (1922 - 2015)

NC Hillel would be a
shadow of what it is today
without the bold leadership
and remarkable support of
Leonard Kaplan, zichrono
lvracha may his memory
be for a blessing and his
beloved wife, Tobee. They
have been NC Hillels most
generous supporters for
over 20 years; they both
have a deep love for the
Jewish community and care immensely about
Jewish youth. Leonard and Tobees profound
dedication to the Jewish people is evident in the
values of their children, Randall and Kathy, Lyn and
Barry, and Scott and Maeve.
Leonard was kind, gentle and humble; he was a
philanthropic visionary, a leader and a mensch. He
was one of a kind, and we will miss him greatly.

Miriam Brenners life


revolved around her love
of family and Jewish
community. She and her
family have made a lasting
impact on the WinstonSalem area and the Jews of
North Carolina.
Through the Abe
and Miriam Brenner
Foundation, Miriam and
her late husband Abe, and
their children, Frank and Nancy, Mike and Wendy,
Frances, and Susan and Steven, have been stalwart,
generous supporters, helping North Carolina Hillel
grow to inspire Jewish students across the state.
Miriam was sweet and always delighted to hear of
NC Hillels successes; we are honored to have been
able to give her much joy over the years. Zichrona
lvracha may her memory be for a blessing.
