What is Leaders Assembly? Leaders Assembly is the

to meet, learn, celebrate, and explore leadership together. It is also the
premier opportunity for talented Jewish student leaders to learn about and
become ambassadors for Hillel's mission, values, and strategic goals. This year
Leaders Assembly will be in Israel. Jewish students from campuses around the
world will create a pluralistic and diverse community that will celebrate and
reflect together on the character of Jewish life worldwide.
Are you going home for Yom Kippur and either need a ride or can offer a ride? If you would like help finding people to ride home with, Hillel can help! Simply email Amy with the day and time you plan on leaving/returning, how many spots are needed/being offered, and the destination. If there is a match, Amy will email the people in similar situations to put together a potential carpool. (Please let Amy know if you would prefer for her not to give out your contact information.) Please note: Hillel will not take responsibility for any rides, this is just a helpful service we are trying.
For more information or to submit your travel plans contact Amy (email or 523-5190 or IM WhatJewDoin1).
