Weeks of Welcome — Spring 2025

Rosh Hahaha 2025

Every summer Hillel at FIU heads to Israel for a Birthright trip that includes exploration of the entire country.

An Israeli food festival, random acts of kindness in the Graham Center, and flag football with former Miami Dolphins QB Sage Rosenfels.

Hillel at FIU student leadership was well-represented at the first annual FL Leadership Gathering in Orlando, welcoming students from all over the state.

Hillel at FIU Shabbats are never your typical shabbats. Once a month we come together as a community for a Friday night Shabbat meal that always brings a theme.

To honor the victims of September 11, JNF came to campus to educate our students and celebrate the hard work of the police during a lunch.

In the Spring of both 2024 and 2025, we brought students and community together for a fun day for all ages

October 7th was a gut-wrenching day for Israel and Jewish people around the world. The rise in antisemitism that followed was an attack on our collective freedom.

As the marketing material of Birthright celebrating its 25th anniversary began to go viral in the Fall, I started to do some math and got a little confused.

I find myself feeling so heartbroken at the world around us sometimes.

The 7th annual Rosh Hahaha kicked off the Jewish New Year with laughter while raising funds for Hillel at FIU, the campus’s Jewish student organization.

We kicked off baseball season and kept it K for P at the Miami Marlins game.

From Jewish Heritage night at the Miami Marlins game to midday meditation, tailgate parties, barbeques and more, we kicked off the 24-25 school year with a bang.

Starting in 2023, the Hillels of Florida travel to Poland each winter break for a meaningful exploration of Jewish connection, identity and history.
