Jewish @ College: What you can expect from Campus Life

Are you a rising high school Junior or Senior (or the parent of one)? Curious about Jewish life on campus? Want to know more about finding a Jewish community of peers? Wondering how you will be able to celebrate holidays in the midst of classes and exams? Interested in learning about conversations about Israel on campus?

We will discuss all this and more on Sunday, August 4! Please join us at 10:00 am - 11:30 am at the Levin JCC to learn about the college experience for Jewish students. Our panel includes:

Betsy Polk, Director of Jewish Life at Elon University 

Joyce Gordon, Director of Jewish Life at Duke
Ginny Vellani, NC Hillel's Director of Statewide Initiatives
Students/recent alumni from these universities will also be on hand to share their experiences and to answer your questions.

Please RSVP by Wednesday, July 31. LINK HERE.

Light refreshments will be served.

Event sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Durham-Chapel Hill, Elon Hillel, Jewish Life at Duke, and NC Hillel

Dr. Halperin will provide a background of the origins and role of Jewish universities and their medical schools in New York, and will explain his job and why it places him in a position of responding to these particular public health issues. He will also parse the distinctions between Hassidic, Misnagdic, Yeshivish, and Modern Orthodox. Finally, he will review his recent involvement in metzizah b'peh, measles, trauma care, obstetrical issues, and the roles of Hassidic rebbes in medical decision-making.
