Washington College Hillel Hillel is a student-run organization that works to support the Jewish community on the Washington Co

Washington College's Hillel is a student-run organization which strives to actively support our campus's Jewish community. Creative Jewish programming, student enthusiasm, and a willingness to accommodate students from all denominations are the founding characteristics of Washington College's Hillel. Hillel is the heart of Jewish life on Washington College's campus. Formal and informal gatherings

focusing on Jewish issues, lifelong learning, and participation in rituals and celebrations allow us to develop one another in line with Jewish values. Shabbat evening services and a home-cooked meal are a foundation of our Hillel activities. Finally, Washington College Hillel students know how to have a good time—social events bring students together and provide a much needed reprieve from course work.

On Monday April 24th at 4:00 pm please join the Institute for Religion, Politics and Culture as we hold a presentation of the award winning research of Ms. Heidi Butler, this year's winner of the Roy Ans Fellowship for the Study of Judaism and American Life. Her presentation will be followed by a reception. All events take place in the Hillel House on campus.

The Roy Ans Fellowship is a competitive and prestigious prize administered by the Institute that empowers students to engage in sustained independent research on a topic involving American Judaism.

This year's award winner is Ms. Heidi Butler. Her research explores the status, success, and challenges of American Jews on college campuses, a project on which she worked closely with Dr. Jon McCullom.

Please consider joining us for this important event--an event held annually on Holocaust Memorial Day so to underscore the importance of the topics explored.
