(Each Monday during the academic year, I feature a "Campus Highlight": a unique, interesting, and noteworthy student organization, program, or initiative that demonstrates the amazing things college students do each and every day across the country.)
This week marks Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. It can be a hard time for Jewish students to be away from their families -- and a hard time for them to find a place to celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
While many campuses have Jewish organizations, like Hillel, that provide services and other resources for Jewish students during this time (and throughout the year), I wanted to highlight the Hillel at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County today. Their "Ten Days of Awesomeness" provides religious services as well as some pretty cool-looking (and free!) community programming. What a great way to start off the new year. L'Shanah Tovah!
