The role which the B’nal B’rith Hillel Foundation plays at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem was depicted here today by Dr. Judah Shapiro, director of the Hillel Foundations, at a meeting of the executive committee of the B’nal B’rith Hillel Commission, following his return from Israel.
“The B’nal B’rith Hillel Foundation at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has become an essential arm of the university, and faculty, students, and members of the community agree that it would not be possible today to conceive the Hebrew University without the Hillel program and the many services it offers to students. Similarly, the administration of the Technion in Haifa has expressed the hope that Hillel service could be brought to that institution in the near future,” Dr. Shapiro reported.
