“In college classes, I learned. At Hillel, I grew. My connection to Judaism strengthened through our learning sessions and regular events. I learned how to lead a team, present myself in meetings and what it takes to engage new attendees and make them feel at home. My Hillel involvement helped me understand the importance of engaging the next generation. It was my responsibility to help build Jewish community and develop leadership. It’s why I started The Den, a home for young professionals within the Denver Jewish community. We share the beauty of Shabbat and other Jewish holidays and provide a Hillel-inspired community center for the next stage in our lives.” — Brandon Fisher, Founder of The Den, University of Central Florida
