Student life in Jerusalem will have a new focus next week with the dedication of the new B’nai B’rith Hillel House at the Hebrew University, Mt. Scopus campus on Aug. 17. The three-story building, whose main contributor is Baltimore industrialist Joseph Meyerhoff, replaces the Hillel House on Balfour Street, in the city’s Rehaviah quarter, which has been sold after 27 years service to the students of Jerusalem. The old Hillel House was considered too far away from the rapidly expanding Scopus campus which already serves 6,000 students and will eventually expand to take in 14,000.
