The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore asked Directors of Hillels across Maryland about what students and families would ask when touring colleges and universities.
In the wake of Hamas’ terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7, universities have seen a surge in antisemitism on their campuses. As high school students begin to make decisions about where they want to go, we decided to talk with local Hillel directors who have been on the front lines these past few months, ensuring their Jewish students have a safe and positive experience.Â
We posed several questions to Monica Davis, executive director, Hopkins Hillel,  Dawn Savage, assistant director, student life at Maryland Hillel, Rabbi Alex Salzberg, executive director Towson Hillel and Josh Snyder, executive director of Goucher Hillel. They offered insights on how they are responding to questions about the current environment from prospective students and families and shared why an active Hillel is now more important than ever.Â
