Hillel’s ten Senior Jewish Educators (SJEs) raise the schmooze to an art form. Now you can have a virtual schmooze with an SJE.

SJEs build relationships with students on the periphery of Jewish life through meaningful Jewish conversations and experiences, including Taglit-Birthright Israel trips, social justice Alternative Breaks, and on-campus learning sessions focused around students’ passions and their “big life questions.”

Here is just a taste of their approach to Jewish learning. Enjoy your virtual schmooze.
